3 weeks post op and able to eat 1 small skinless drumstick and thigh in one sitting? Is this normal?

i was sleeve 10/6/14 and depending on what I eat determines how much i can eat ; 1/2 c Soup is easier to eat than 1/4 of a cup of Beans or yogurt while 2 oz of ckn is really a challenge but i can do tuna. i am dissappointed i cant do eggs at all but i try to slow down and listen to my tummy my struggle is trying to take 30 min to eat. all of us are different and all of our dr s have different requirements but in a nutshell our bodies r our best guide. good luck

Thank you everyone for your great responses and advice! I was able to talk to my Doctor and he told me not to worry my sleeve will let me know if I am over doing it (i.e it will get stuck, I will feel nauseated) everyone is different and can tolerate things differently. He also said what many of you said, a thigh looks bigger because of the bones, but chances are I didn't eat as much as I thought. The Water gulping is not a problem either. Apparently everyone gets this back at one point or another, it was just sooner for me. I have to say I really prayed on this one, because the sip, sip, sip was just not working, working, working. I feel so much better now and happy I posted this on here.

Approved by my Doctor, yesterday I tried eating sardines (mushing it up really good and added some lime juice) and after 1.5 ounces I was full. Just could not eat one more bite. So although I can tolerate soft chicken (dark meat) I may not be able to tolerate other things as quickly.

Oh, and although I have no problems eating an over medium egg, deviled egg, or hard boiled egg, scrambled eggs are just not my friend. So for those of you who cannot eat them scrambled, maybe try them another way, you may be surprised that you will be able to tolerate them better.

Hope everyone is having a great day so far!

@@Tired_of_being_Tired, I also gulp my Water down. That is the only way I can meet my 72oz requirement.
