Trouble Eating
I have been having trouble eating for a few weeks now. It seems I get so sick after a couple of bites, and they are still the same little bites that I am supposed to be taking. But I get that full feeling, like I ate to much after a few bites.
I have been blaming it on summer. I go this month for my 1 year post op appt with Dr Baker and I will bring it up to him.
I also haven't been losing weight either. I seemed to have stopped at 220 (give or take a few). I swear I have been at this weight for atleast 2 months or so. I think it is because I am not going outside walking and am not doing much in the house (besides normal housework or running after a 1 year old when I have her all day Mondays and every other Tuesdays).
So is it all because it's summer or is it me?

I started to pay more attention to my eating, to see if it could have been something on my part. And I think it is. I guess I just wasn't paying much attention to meal time. Like I do with as far as whats on my plate, but not during mealtime itself. I found that I was not waiting half hour anymore before I started eating, after I had something to drink. So with a half full pouch of liquids, there's not much room for the food, and it was probably expanding from the liquids making me feel fuller and sicker. Also I saw that I was not chewing throroughly. I never could chew 30 times, but I wasn't even chewing 5 times. Also I saw that my bites weren't as small as I thought they were. I guess I became careless while eating and never even noticed it. So no wonder I was only able to get down a few bites before getting sick.
I saw that when I ate something that was like a puree consistency or super soft (like pudding, applesauce, etc) that I had no problems. So I am going back to baby spoons and my eggtimer and going to get back on track. Atleast though my food choices are still staying healthy. I would have figured that if I was going to ever mess up that it would have been with WHAT I ate and not HOW I ate. So yeah, how you put food in your mouth is just as important as what you put in your mouth.
