Is this NORMAL????

Today I started the soft diet and that also went real good. I had half a packet of oat meal with cinn. and splenda in it and two teaspoons of cottage cheese for lunch and dinner. I didn't feel very full after that but I wasn't starving either. I just worry that I am eating to much. My official weight loss post opp is 10lbs. So I wonder if my pouch is to big or did I do something to stretch it out??? I am probably being paranoid but I have yet to have the FULL feeling except when I forgot and took a big gulp of water.... On another note I walked 3 miles today felt AWSOME!!!! Thanks Everyone Jennifer

Don't force yourself to eat more than you can handle. You won't stretch your pouch on the little that you are eating. You'll know when you are full. You'll feel it, just like the gulp of water. You have a lot of different feelings after this surgery. For the most part, you have to force yourself to eat because you aren't hungry. Don't worry, you'll be okay. COngrats on the 10 pounds and the walking. Marie

Jennifer: Give it time, some get full on 1-2Tablespoons others a little more, all depends on you your pouchie heals. Soft foods may never give satiety as they are sliders, Stick w/ the diet your given and see how it goes ok! I know a difficult journey at times not knowing what the heck normal is! Be well!

be careful because your going to know when your full, because your going to throw up. just be really careful. I'm the same way. I'm a month out and i'm able to eat more then they say i can, but its only some foods. Some foods full me up after 2-3 bites but then some foods i can eat a whole bowl of it. But its going to suck because your going to learn when you feel full because its not the same feeling you got before. good luck
