I feel like I'm broken, or my pouch is lol. I've been doing great since surgery and advanced to pureed foods a couple days ago. My directions are 1.5-3oz per meal. I started off slow of course with like 1.5 oz and was fine. I plate 3 oz of pureed and I am able to finish it with no issues. I eat slowly and chew the tiny little pureed bites very well. I stop eating after 20 minutes or so per my nutritionists instructions to avoid grazing.

Anyways I feel broken because I see so many people say they can barely eat an ounce without feeling full. I'm definitely satisfied at my 3 oz but feel like I should be more restricted like other people??

Don't stress it .... even eating 3 oz you'll be losing just as fast. Some days you will be able to eat more and some days less. Just take it a day at a time and stay consistent. You got this!

I felt like my restriction wasn't very good either. There are a few of us on this forum in the same boat. I think that is why they stress protein first, it is dense and filling. On days where I eat more protein, I tend to do a lot better.

I'm the exact same way. It does get a little better when you are eating solids because they will fill you up faster. I didn't ever feel "full" or "stuck" though until one day like 5-6 weeks out when I was eating too fast. Then I quickly realized I really did have restriction! I agree with the protein first because it really does help. I just keep telling myself that this is better than the alternative of getting sick with everything I eat... and I am losing weight just fine.

My stomach is longer than most and Doc said I will eat more than most.

you won't really feel that much restriction until you move to dense food. Then you should *really* feel it.
