Anyone one step 4 diet

[PennyIris 7]

Hello everyone, I have a question that I hate to ask but is there anyone that has experienced at least the step three or four diet that still takes super small bites and waits minutes in between each one or will I eventually be able to eat bigger bites? I have this fear that I might bite off more than I can chew literally when I’m able to eat solid foods and would love some feedback! Thanks I’m advance

yes, you'll eventually be able to eat bigger bites. Once you're a few months out, no one is going to suspect you had WLS. The only thing they may notice is that you eat smaller portions - but they'll probably just assume you're a light eater. You won't be taking microscopic bites at the time - or eating microscopic portions. This is really just the few months.

As @catwoman7 said, yes, eventually. Your calories will increase, your portion size will increase, you’ll need less time between bites, how much time you need between eating & drinking will decrease, etc. Just progress as you are able. Don’t push yourself to do more than you can. Listen to your body & how it reacts. It will soon tell you if it’s no, not yet.

Will you go back to doing these things exactly the same as you did before? No. But that’s a good thing. Think of this time as learning what is best for you & the healthier, happier, smaller you.

I am 5 months post-op and I eat pretty normal now. Just A LOT less food.
