Anyone know....

Why do some foods, such as fish and eggs, cause me pain after 2-3 bites (sometimes to the point of needing to get *rid* of it), and other foods, cheese or yogurt for example, seem to go down with no problem and as if I could continue eating even after 5 or more bites?  It kind of scares me that I could possible be able to over eat because I'm not always feeling that full sensation with some foods.  Any helpful hints??

I'll be curious to any replies you get on this because I have the same issue.  I'm guessing foods like eggs are denser food then cheese or yogurt.  I think because eggs are denser I eat them slower so our brain catches up to notify we are full quicker then some of the other foods.  But its is weird how my pouch reacts to different food. I'm having a harder time eating because I get those feelings you described with nearly everything after just eating one or two bites and just feeling so sick and full its frustrating because I know I have to eat and focus on protein but my pouch doesn't want to corporate with me.   Lately the only thing I seem to be able to handle is fruit and veggies which you would think my pouch would hate digesting with all that fiber.   I noticed because of my lack of protein this past few weeks have been very slow with the weight loss.   

One thing may be the amount of protien in the food.  I know when I eat something that is high in protien I can't eat as much as something that is not.   Logically the denser food theory makes sense too.

Whenever I've had to get *rid* of something, I believe it's been for one of the following reasons:

* it was too dry (I have discovered I can't eat ham in any form, and have had to swap out chicken breast meat for thigh or leg meat.  And use low fat sauces or gravies if you can, it really helps me!). * I didn't chew it enough, or just mindlessly swallowed too soon. * I'm not taking enough time between bites. Yes, denser proteins will fill you up after eating less than those softer proteins.  But that's a GOOD thing, 'cuz most of them will have MORE protein, too.  And they'll keep you feeling satisfied longer.
