New trick to reduce eating portion



Recommended Posts

By accident I came across a new trick that has reduced my eating. What happened was while having lunch I was leaning forward and suddenly I felt extra restriction. I tried it three times and it worked. I don't know if it will work for all you fellow members but it works for me.

Hmmm, will have to give that a try.

I've noticed this as well. When I get too full I usually sit back some so I don't feel so uncomfortable. Still working on not eating those last 2-3 bites at meals. It's so hard not to sometimes.

I struggle with leaving the last bites as well. Sometimes I will throw it in the garbage to make sure I don't go back to it.

I interrupt my meal. Five minutes in, I get up, go to the bathroom, wash my hands, come back. Often my appetite is satisfied but the signal didn't have time to reach my brain. It's easier to identify then if I want to keep eating or if I'm really satisfied.

I use salad plates or saucers... helps me keep my portions smaller.

I thought it was just me and a part of the healing process since I was sleeved 12 days ago! Very uncomfortable. I guess this will teach me to sit up straighter while eating! LOL.

Have a great day!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
