Question about calories versus volume of food

I am an RNY patient who's 9 months out from surgery. To keep myself from eating chips, I eat cucumber slices. It's not unusual for me to eat an entire cucumber in one sitting.The whole thing is only about 25 calories, so that's not a concern. BUT ... will the sheer volume of the cucumber stretch my pouch?

Thanks!

I would think that cucumbers, like lettuce, has a lot of water and chews down to nothing so it may not be as much as it looks like.  For fun you could always stick one in a blender and see what the volume turns out to be.

Oh, that suggestion SOOO appeals to my inner child. Gonna do that. Thanks. :-)

Let me know how it turns out.

For me to get that full feeling I will eat a lot of raw vegetable...Carrots, cucumbers, red cabbage, spinach leafs.  I will get a McDonald Grilled Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad with vinaigrette dressing.  I then add my own vegetables.  It will last for several days.  Another trick I use to stuff myself...Oatmeal!!  Same idea...Just to get that full feeling.
