Meals on Mushies??
So I was sleeved on July 11th and I'm now on soft foods after being on liquids for 2 weeks. I am finally able to feel the fullness feeling (or the overstuffed almost sick feeling) which is a lot different from before surgery. I'm having to relearn how to eat with my new stomach...
Since I'm not able to eat but a few bites before I feel like I'm stuffed, I feel like I'm more or less snacking instead of having a meal. Like I would have a couple of crackers and a cheese stick as a lunch. Or I'll have a scoop of tuna salad and 2 crackers. What sorts of meals did you have on mushies? Is snacking the new normal for my meals??

I know that it feels like snacking, but that is about what my meals are like. I am just starting to integrate soft foods as well. For breakfast I was only able to eat half a soft poached egg and 1/4 of a piece of toast. My husband had the VSG a few months ago, and I find that I am eating about what he did at that time. He still doesn't eat more than 4 ounces of anything. You will get used to it...and save a lot of money. :)
