How long will it take
I don't know. I got sick a couple times before 4 weeks out and haven't in several weeks, so maybe I learned. What I did learn what not to try new things out in public. Chicken is hard without a lot of sauce so maybe it was WHAT you ate and not how much. But yes, I do think you learn but sometimes you eat too fast and don't realize and then get sick. Anyway, that's my experience.
I can tell you this, I can only eat 2 nuggets tops! lol
When you feel like food is in your throat and not your pouch, you are TOO full.. I weigh my meals still to make sure I dont eat too much, I start with 2 oz and if I can fit more in, I eat a 1/2 oz at a time. I have not been able to get more than 2- 21/2 oz in at once still. I am supposed to be increasing my food intake, per my doc, and started stage 4 (diff with every surgeon it seems)... I recommend weighing your food again and make sure you chew chew chew and take at least 20 mins to eat.... eating too fast will definitely make you vomit (it does me, every single time I rush!)

I am sticking with a straight 2 oz of everything for now. Depending on what it is I'm eating, I either feel totally satisfied or totally stuffed, like after Thanksgiving dinner. My eyes stopped being bigger than my pouch early on... when you feel like a car is sitting on your chest after you ate, you defientely over did it !
No throwing up for me yet, but the weight on my chest is extremely uncomfortable, so I've gone with the straight 2 oz rule !

I can only eat about 1.5 nugget size chicken. I cut it up into tiny pieces and chew at least 30 before swallowing, basically it is pureed when you swallow. If I don't chew 30times, I have become sick. I just started solid food last friday.
Remember, it takes 30 minutes for your brain to realize your full. Today is the first day I have actually felt hungry since surgery. Good luck.
