I'm a little over 5 weeks out and so far so good except for one thing. These last 3 days when I go to eat, I've only managed a bite or two before feeling full.

I haven't yet experienced anything like this, so I'm not sure if I could have caused an issue, or if I'm swallowing too much air. That's what it really feels like.

So my question is, is there anything I can do to try and stop this?

My calories have dropped tremendously cause I feel full all the time, so I'm worried Ill go back to feeling like crap like in the beginning.

That sounds pretty normal if you are eating more solid foods. Make sure you are still taking small small bites and chewing thoroughly.

I was actually allowed solids starting in week 3 without any problem. That's why it's throwing me off now since I'm eating things I have already tried. Maybe I'm not aware as much and taking too big of bites. Thanks so much.

my serving size at your point was 1/4 cup, so you aren't very far from that. I was on soft/pureed food at that point. a scrambled egg was all I could handle.

And since I started, @@Ryan TN, I've only been able to handle roughly 3 ounces of whatever it was.....way more than boiled eggs......but the salads, broiled fish, and grilled chicken, which I've all handled no problem, now it seems to be either getting stuck, or just one bite and I'm done. After reviewing @@Inner Surfer Girls wisdom, I'm sure I'm probably taking too big of a bite. Feeling so good lately has caused me to forget the surgery at times.

Firstly, I'll see your "Hey" and I'll raise you a "How you doin'?"

Now, to the food...

You gotta chew...

No...

You REALLY gotta chew!!!

Forget the 'chew 20 times' sh*t...

CHEW!!!!

It happens! What I found works well for me, especially when I am out eating is, I take a bite, then set the fork down and chew, chew, chew.This keeps me from gulping everything down too fast.

Well....@@KindaFamiliar , I'm great except for the slight issue but thanks to you and @@Ryan TN , I totally see my problem. Like I said since I finally started feeling really good, my mind isn't consumed with the surgery so I've been slacking in the slow down, small bites, and chew department. I'm still measuring....but I'm gulping.

Thanks for the tips, gentleman.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
