Am I eating too much?
I've been reading other posts, and I'm a little concerned. I see people saying that they can only eat a half of a meatball, or a piece of this or that. I am able to eat a whole turkey burger without a problem (no bread of course) & I will only be a month out on the 30th... Am I pushing my sleeve too far? I'm getting my protein in, taking my vitamins & almost at 100% of my liquid goal. What do you all think?
At your point I could only have a 1/4 cup which is about 1.5 oz solid protein. One patty would be two meals for me. I would weigh it as your stomach nerves have been cut it may not be able to tell you that it is getting to much. You don't want to be pushing that new sleeve. What does you plan say for 4 weeks.
My plan doesn't allow me to take more than 30 minutes to eat, so if I don't finish in 30 minutes, I don't eat it.
You might also find that, in a few weeks, your capacity changes and decreases.
