Ok, so I am about 7 weeks post gastric bypass. When I eat I have maybe 3-4 bites and feel kinda full, well I take some time and then I can eat more. Is it normal to feel full after only a few bites then wait and eat more? If I stop at 3 bites I'm hungry in no time. Anybody else like this?

I don't feel full so I just go by the measurements my nut gave me. I eat really slowly and chew thoroughly. Most meals are around 1/4 cup of food.

I was told it should take me about 30 minutes to eat the 1/4 cup. And as long as i take that amount of time and wait the half hpur to hour before i drrink Water i feel full for a long while. Sometimes i feel i stay full to long.

After surgery, I found that softer foods such as chili and Soups went down much easier than harder foods such as steak and chicken. So I primarily relied on these. I made my own chili and soups and fortified them with extra Protein. I have included some of the recipes at the end of the following article. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

I wish I could eat something. I don't like eggs, chicken or those premier shakes especially the vanilla.

I had the sleeve about 5 weeks ago, a typical day for me is..

Breakfast, 1/4 cup of corn flakes with about 1/4 cup of skim milk.

lunch, maybe 3 or 4 slices of turkey lunch meat with a wedge of laughing cow cheese and may try a piece of banana..like a fourth of a piece.

dinner, a chicken strip and maybe 6 or 7 bites of like mashes potatoes.

If I snack during the day, it's, nuts..watermelon, flavored crackers..ie instead of chips..my weakness.

I almost always feel full.
