5 weeks out

I'm 5 weeks out and I can eat 1 egg with No Trouble, is that normal? I've heard others say they had problems.

Eggs never caused me an issue.  I was eating two egs by then, but only eat what you're comfortable with.

I think everyone is different. I'm six weeks out & I haven't had a problem with one thing I've ate! I had one egg this morning for breakfast! yum! :)

Im 3 weeks out and Im eating 1 scrambled egg just fine  :)   and  I can manage about a 1/4 of a mashed banana...Yum!

Thanks guys! I was worried I was eating to much. My doctor doesn't have we weighing anything, just eat till I feel full then stop. As long as I don't get sick they said I'm good.

That's really foolish on your doctor's part.  At this point, your stomach is still healing so you can't trust any "full" signals that it would be able to give you.  

Well, we've all seen that not all Doctor do things the same way. I know a lot of people who have had this same doctor and they have  had no problems. When I've measured to check and see who much I was eating it was only about 1.5 to 2 oz. and I felt full.

I am 6 weeks out and can eat eggs with no problems. I haven't had any problems with anything that I have ate.

We are all so different and capacity goes right along with it. 5 weeks after having surgery I could only eat 1/2 of an egg. 1/2 of a Baby Bell cheese filled me! For the most part I could only eat tablespoons of food, and most of the time I had to really rely on protein shakes to get in enough calories and protein. My stomach was super small and still is I guess! Now at just over 2 years out, I can eat 1 1/2 eggs, but most of the time I only eat 1 with a little cheese in it. Some days I might eat in a piece of bacon with the egg.

Even though your doctor doesn't have you measure your food, I've found that was the best way for me to eat. There is such a fine line between satisfied (or "full") and "oops I ate a bite too much", which for me is an awful feeling. It only took having the "foamies" twice for me to learn how important it was to make sure not to eat too much or too fast. Eyeballing it isn't as easy as I would have thought and my stomach fullness wasn't/isn't always a reliable way to know when I'd eaten enough. In saying this, I'm only trying to help, which is what I think most of us on here are trying to do. Please don't take it as criticism on what your doctor does or doesn't have his/her patients do.
