Eating to much?!?!?!?

I had a RNY on march 18th. I feel like im eating to much. I don't want to stretch my pouch. I feel in a way paranoid about it. I didn't eat a lot at first when I was able because I thought I was going to "break" myself. I don't want to be eating to much. I am eating a lot of chicken and lowfat cheese. making my own tortilla pizzas. It's hard finding things to eat out because I'm 19 and my family and friends like to go out to eat a lot. I'm more cautious when it comes to eating out then when it comes to eating at home because I know I can eat what I am making. I feel like im eating to much of what I make at home. I don't know if its normal to be nauseous as often as I am. Does anyone have any suggestions??

I had surgery the same day as you. I can't eat more than two square inches of a tortilla before I have eaten too much! Are you tracking your food intake? Tracking your calories? Getting protein in first? Getting your liquids in? When do you get nauseas (sp)? If it's consistently after you are eating, then you are probably/possibly eating too much. My typical day's consumption of food includes 1 protein bar, 4 ounces of protein dense foods, 1/4 cup of nuts, and two protein shakes. with a little bit of variety of course, but that's about it, and that I eat only because I know it's TIME to eat. Me and hunger are not good friends. I've tried one tortilla since I had surgery and got so full so fast I had to spit out the second mouthful. My surgeon's ultimate guidelines are 70 - 100 g of protein, 100 -120 g of good complex carbs, and 20 - 30 g of fat, not to exceed 1200 calories, and included in that would be 64 - 120 ounces of liquid. Good luck. Talk it over with your nutritionist, and call your surgeon about the nausea

Very interesting how different doctors are....because I am not suppose to have an carbs like tortillas yet. I would weigh and measure everything. And watch what you are eating... Always make sure your proteins are first, then veggies then healthy carbs. HUGS! Dori
