Eating too much too soon?

[latido 177]

I think that after moving into the purees, I realized that I couldn't eat past 2-3 ounces at a time. I am exercising restraint with the yogurt, since it seems to go down easily no matter what came before it.

I'm nine months out and have never felt restriction, never feel full. No dumping. I've recently gained 10 pounds by going back to my old habits. Who the heck gains in the first year?!?! Starting the five day pouch today in an effort to get back on track. Good luck ladies!2

I'm about 7mos out and sometimes I feel like I'm eating 8oz of food before I'm full. Sometimes 4oz will get me full. It's a crazy mind game

I can eat well over my 'limit' with certain foods. I can eat almost an entire plate of salad, but add chicken or some kind of dense Protein and it cuts it waaay back.

Me too! I also think it is mindgames, since I too can sometimes grab a yogurt after a meal and work it in.

@@patticake1448, I'm sorry, but that sucks!

I am also glad that there are others feeling the same as I do. I am able to eat anything without any nausea and have never thrown up. It has been 5 weeks since my surgery and I am afraid that I am eating too much or the wrong thing.

I don't want to mess up my pouch but I am hungry!! I think the 3-4 oz cups are a good idea to help me measure exactly how much I am eating. I sometimes get lazy and just try to guess at it and that is probably not a good idea. It is good to get on here and read what everyone is trying and going through!!

It was suggested that I eat and drink out if 3 ounce containers so I don't overheat. I go 3oz cups from Walmart since I don't have a full switch and am not good at Portion Control this is working well.

I am a month out and am having sort of the same problem too. I find depending on the food I can eat from 1/4 cup to 1 cup. So far I am down 13 lbs and have not regained anything at all. The only thing that made me nauseous was veggie chicken nuggets. other smells make me nauseous so I just haven't tried those foods yet. I was scared too that I am eating too much but I'm getting in around 800-1000 calories per day and hitting my Protein and Water goals each day and the surgeon said that's good.

I bought a digital kitchen scale and measure out 2 to 4 ounces of food. I somehow gained 8 pounds when I first started soft foods, I think it was Water weight. I stalled for two weeks and then lost 12 pounds in 3 days. Lost 1 pound a day for 4 days then I ate about 100 grams of Protein the other day, lost 4 pounds that day. I increased my Protein Shakes from 2 to 3 since I don't get no where near 80 grams of protein a day. Hoping it will jump start my weight loss. I also go to the gym 6 days a week for an hour.
