I didnt plan accordingly for my lunch at work yesterday. I generally weigh and measure everything and plan ahead from the day before. I had been craving meatballs and since I didn't pack anything I had a "side order" of meatballs in a dish, not big not small so I figured I would eat 1 to 1 1/2 and save the rest for today n tommorow. I made the mistake of being on the phone while eating and apparently ate too much. This is the first time I have felt "FULL" since surgery and I can tell you I did not like it. I felt grossly sick for about an hour afterwards. I felt as if I was going to vomit, although I didn't it was a close call and I think I may have felt better if I had but I let nature take its course and didn't force it. I had a small piece of fish and some squash for dinner which I weighed and measured and felt fine thankfully. Lesson learned for sure, I never want that feeling again

I’ve done this , and like you , felt absolutely AWFUL. It’s the very worst feeling isn’t it ? I hope you’re ok now. I start the last stage on Saturday and am really nervous of trying stuff not mashed down , and introducing new foods . How did other people find it ?

Yes it was a horrible feeling, actually feel queasy just thinking about it, but thanks I am good now. I start "real food" next week 10/11 and I am actually getting nervous. I am thinking about staying with my soft foods somewhat longer, I guess we just have to take baby steps. Let's compare notes after next week

I have overeaten like that and felt awful once. Now, it's like a wall comes down in my mind that says, "BAM You're Done!" And I stop eating. I guess that is the restriction and I need to prepare for its probable departure.

I agree with you , baby steps I think is good . If you don’t feel ready, it won’t do you any harm to stay with what you’re doing for a bit longer I’ve mashed a boiled egg with a spoon instead of a fork today - in preperation?but I am very nervous of the next bit . I’m sure we’ll be ok , but have to remember to eat slowly . do you have a list of “caution foods “ to go careful with ? YES! we should compare notes , let’s do it ? Good luck . ?

yep! I’ve done it . We really have to concentrate on what we’re eating . I don’t always realise that I’m actually full, so have to watch for it . Hope you’re getting on ok now ?

Thank you, good luck to you too ! I actually do not have a list of caution foods, if you do and can share that would be great. I have read through some of the threads as to what doesn't sit well with everyone so If I were to make a list for myself I imagine the top things I would avoid would be fried foods, pasta, rice, breads and sweets. Lucky for me I am not a big fan of fried foods and sweets but being a CARBOHOLIC the pasta, rice and breads will be rough.
