I am now 3 months out and I am still trying to get that fine line down. I can eat something for dinner and I am fine with 4 oz. But the following day I try to eat the same thing and the same amount and get one of those tell-tale signs (pain, watery mouth or feeling like I am going to die). I have been told that you will learn how to work with you new (very angry) tummy. As long as you do not push beyond those feelings or never get there you should be fine.

Also weighing your food is very help and helps keep your food goals at bay. I weigh everything I eat. Sometime I can eat the 4 oz of food I weigh out and over times I only get in a couple of bite. Let your body lead the way.

_{WILL YOU GUYS EXPLAIN THE REASON FOR THE 30 MIN BEFORE AND AFTER food AGAIN FOR ME PLEASE}

It will flush your "pouch" and wash food through, resulting in empty calories and increased hunger. There is a video out there explaining this with applesauce and a funnel

What I have found especially after surgery that if you sneeze, nose starts to run or hiccup these are the signs that you are getting full. I am over 2.5 years post op and ny nose still starts to run when I get full. I have to make sure I eat something every 3 -5 hours bc im not hungry it is because I need to eat to fuel my body. I don't like food prior to surgery. There are days I crave certain foods and depending how I feel I can eat 4-6 oz of chili or less. Everyday is different.

The nurse told me, we need the food to sit in our stomachs as long as possible for proper absorbion of nutrients and to feel satisfied longer, the liquids will push the food on through....I try to stick to this, it's kind of hard though

It will take time to get to know your new body. As long as I/you listen to what your body is telling you, the better and easier it will be
