Changing from 2 ounces a meal to 3 ounces

Did anyone have a problem going from 2 to 3 ounces at each meal? I am having a hard time getting the 3 ounces I am feeling too full. I am eatting slow and not drinking 30 mins before too. I know this sounds wierd but I am too full to eat the last ounce.....lol. Bonnie

Bonnie, Don't pu**** Not everyone can get up to what their post-op time on the yellow sheet says. If it takes you to 3 months..or even 4 to get in the 3rd ounce, don't sweat it. Think of it as an 'allowable' amount not a minimum amount. Sherri

I have been trying to get that 3rd ounce in too. I have never been able to. I just put it on my plate and feel real good to be out of the empty plate club for the first time in my life!! Carmen

Just make sure those 2 ounces are good for you and take your vitamins!!!! it will gradually open up more...ENJOY being full!!!! Linda

Hi Bonnie, It seems like every program has a different schedule. I was supposed to go from 2 oz to 4 oz at 3 months (end of June for me). I had the same problem. I finally asked the dietition and she told me the same thing everyone else has been saying. "Just eat what you can and make sure it is good for you." I found that I am able to eat more now that I have relaxed about it. I can eat 4 oz of some things if they are moist enough (refried beans, soups, etc.) and can still only eat 2 oz of drier things - meats, and so on. So I just try to make sure I'm getting in my protein and a few veggies or fruits each day. So just relax, your body will let you know when you can handle more. Cindy
