    Hi Augie, I'm having surgery with Dr. Acosta on April 25th. Do you have any tips for me?

    I am so happy to be losing weight. I had several NSV moments today! One was that I fit into the electric cart at Walmart without having to cram myself into it! Then I bought some clothes, just to see if they'd fit. I bought a 5X T-shirt of Just My Size's and 4X Capris of Just My Size's. Both are a bit tight, but soon I will be able to buy my clothes from a store, instead of ordering them online! I should visit Goodwill, soon, though! I haven't hit a stall yet, *knocking on wood* but I may do so soon, it's around that time. I'm only eating protein, myself. I did try a baked potato a couple of times and was able to stomach a few bites as long as the butter was melted! I love Quest Bars. I tried them out long ago when they first started making them. Back then they only had two flavors, and I forget what they were called. I've seen they have several other flavors, now, and they are tempting to try!

    Hi Liz! No problem! I've been doing alright! I was concerned about my protein intake at my one month visit, and it was suggested that I try the High Protein Ensure! Today was the first day I hit my protein goal of 60 grams! Usually they won't recommend protein shakes, as they like us to get all we can from our food! I just haven't been able to! How have you been doing?

    Hi Augie! I see we are in the same group, "Over 300 lbs." Just thought I'd see if you'd like to be friends! I had my surgery 2-18-13 at 383#.

    Hi Augie,

    We had the same surgery date so I thought to add you as a friend so we can compare notes.

How much do you/can you eat?

by Augie on 01-11-2013 at 01:53 PM
I had surgery on 12/18 and am now about 1.5 weeks into soft foods. I eat proteins- ground meat substitute, cottage cheese, minced chicken breast, egg, and mashed beans, mostly. I am easily able to eat a cup of food and I do not feel full. I am not hungry anymore but don't feel full. I read that many people eat so much less than that and I am worried that my stomach capacity is too large or something. I also realize that it could be a brain issue and my idea of feeling full is actually feeling stuffed
