Hello all I am currently 5 weeks post-op rny gastric bypass. I am on the soft foods stage and have been doing pretty well. I measure my food and try to eat about 2 ounces at a time. This weekend I was at a barbeque and they are shrimp cocktail. The shrimp were very small, but as I was cooking a chatting I noticed I ate about 8 ounces of shrimp. I was not uncomfortable or anything just worried. I am never able to consume this much. Any ideas?

The nerves in your stomach may not have healed back from surgery, which means you wouldn't have full feeling yet. This is also means you couldn't accidentally hurt your still-healing stomach. I would just move past it and make sure you don't do anything like it again. [emoji4]

Thank you, I do get full of other proteins, I am so surprised I was able to fit so much. Could it be because they were so soft?

I'd say so. Soft stuff, well chewed seems to slide through a sleeve..guess it does a pouch as well. I was about 5 weeks out and shocked when I ate 8 oz of potato soup. Taught me to measure first

I meant to say you "could" accidentally hurt your stomach since your nerves may not be healed enough to let you know when it is too much. Just be super careful. [emoji4]
