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!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
