Just started puréed foods this morning and made one scrambled egg- I'm eating slowly and have had like 4 bites.. I'm nervous to finish because I don't want to be sick but can't tell if I'm stopping before I'm even full just out of nervousness. How will I know when to stop? Should I be able to eat a whole egg at this point or is this normal?

@@lb330 - Measuring it out and setting your fork down while you are chewing is a good idea.

That is so you don't inadvertently eat another bite and you stomach will have time to signal your brain that you are full.

How many days post are you?

I had a soft scrambled egg for my first 'meal' and it was divine!

My NUT recommended using the little 2 ounce condiment cups that you can get from a Walmart or the grocery stores to measure my food and what I can fit in it I can eat. It has been a good tool for me in this stage.

Yes. I have an extensive list of food that I was given and in my nutrition classes received more ideas,and I got sample menus. I appreciated my nutritional classes and felt prepared going into this stage. Sample of things I eat egg salad my favorite for Breakfast. I just feel the little cup up and eat my meal. lunch tuna salad, or turkey chili. For dinner I have had refried Beans with low fat sour cream. Sunday night I roasted fresh beets and puréed them and had baked tilapia which I grinded into very small pieces and filled my little cup up; decent dinner with my Protein and vegetables. The fam got regular portions. I am learning to be creative yet keep it simple. My egg salad I just make a small portion for me to eat off for 2-3 days and I can prepackage my cups.

I can't eat a whole egg yet I usually have about 2 bites left when I try... this is the nice part about having dogs, they are happy to eat the excess.

@@gerbrared i use four boiled eggs, Hellmann's light Mayonnaise, about half teaspoon of Dijon mustard, sea salt and pepper. Once you boil the eggs I just use a fork to mash the eggs up but I leave a bit of texture because once the mayo and dijon mustard is added it should be creamy so that it is easy to digest. Then I use the 2 oz condiment cup to eat out of.

      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...

      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?
