Help! I am in stage 4 and not feeling full after eating.

Hi. I started stage 4 which introduces soft foods yesterday. I scrambled 1 egg with low fat cheese melted in. I eat the whole thing and did not feel full at all. I know I could have eaten probably another serving. I stopped at 1 egg but was worried why I did not feel full. I had 1 ounce of tuna today and still did not feel full. I am worried I will not get that full feeling everyone talks about. Has anyone ever experienced this? Thanks, Lisa

Hi Lisa, Make sure you sipping all your water and getting your fluids in. This Journey is all about retraining your body's eating habits as it is about just limiting how much you can eat at a sitting. I ate my meals with a baby spoon at first to slow down the process and give my mind a chance to catch up to my tummy's full feeling. . Just relax and if you still feel hungry after eating, . sip a little water or have a surger free ice pop.. Best of luck!

I concur with Julio... if you slow it down even more you should feel a little fuller. also try to not drink with meals... but drink all the time between them. If you still don't feel like you are feeling full, call dr. A. He would want to know if you are having problems. Hugs, Chrissy

Thanks for the feedback. I will try to eat a little slower. I have been taking little bites and trying to chew 30 times. I also wait 30 minutes before and after before drinking. I will call the doctor if I am still not feeling full. Thanks, Lisa

I had the same issue in the beginning and I was driving my self crazy thinking if the surgery really worked. My doctor told me to eat until I'm satisifed, not necessarily until i'm full. After a while you'll get used to it. It's been a little over 7 1/2 months and i've lost 116 lbs. so all my worrying was for nothing....lol. You will do fine, just don't eat for the full feeling, eat to be satisified.
