ok after i eat my tuna, refried beans or cheese stick i don't know if i am full yet or if i am scared to eat more because of my episode with scrambled egg on monday. i think i am  "gun shy". i have using the baby spoon but i only eat about 1 tsp for a meal. i am drinking my liquids and i feel ok but am i getting enough to eat?

Probably not.  The feeling of being full should be pretty obvious.  It is for me anyway but you might be different.  But it's better to undereat than overeat, I think.  Good luck.  I know you don't wanna urf again!

I can definitely feel when I'm starting to get full, too. I think just a teaspoon is not filling you, but if you feel satisfied, it's not a bad thing for now. You might try to gradually progress in amt. with foods that are a bit easier for your new tummy than the egg was.  Just eat slowly and chew, chew, chew. As your swelling from surgery goes down, you'll gradually be able to eat a little more.

 

Blessings and Best Wishes! Shelly
