Anybody else experiencing these things?

Hi I will be 8 weeks post op on Friday and I am down 58lbs.. I am noticing that I have been eating easier not really more just without pain and I am wondering if it's because I am learning to chew well enough or what hmmm I know I am not streched because I have the micropouch which can't strech and it's like I don't want pain but when I was feeling it I knew it was working do you know what I mean? Maybe I am just weird... Maybe I am just starting to know when the full time is there and I am catching it before the pain? I just wanted some input...Thanks Jess

for me it's a combination of learning what and how much i can eat, and the natural healing process. what's a micropouch and why can't you stretch it? i haven't heard anything about this.

Jay, you are a little ahead of me....how much can you eat at one time? I am curious, not sure if I am doing too much or too little...I havn't gotten sick yet so I think I am doing ok. Teresa

i can't answer with any set amount. it depends on what i'm eating and on some days i feel like i can eat much more than others. i think the most i've eaten comfortably at one sitting is half of an order of soup from Panera. I did eat a whole egg scrambled with some cheese and bacon in it and couldn't believe i ate the whole thing but i was so full afterward i really regretted it. With any kind of meat or fish i'm lucky if i can get down two ounces. I have learned that i have to eat very small meals or i get very uncomfortable and start belching a lot. to be honest, eating is starting to seem like a chore and i'm struggling to make decisions on what to have at meals. I'm working really hard to get all my protein and stay low carb and low fat. I can't wait to get to the point where it starts to come more easily.
