That blah feeling is being too full, your first few weeks-months on solids you will only be able to eat a VERY small amount. When I started on solids I could only eat about 5-10 bites. Be patient, it will come!! Pasta is probably not a good thing to start with, try refried beans, cottage cheese, yogurt they will go down much easier.

Good luck and happy losing!!

Yup... sounds like TOO much food.
I didnt go to solids for almost a month. From liquids I went to mushies.
Lots of tuna. One can would last for 4 to 5 meals.
And ya... that blah feeling sucks.
Still wish I ate more cause I know I have to.
Im just not hungry and still only eat 4 oz of food a day.
But sounds like your on your way!

Ive never measured anything but its probably not a bad idea.
I can have 1 egg but have a hard time having 2
You will find the right amount soon.
Good Luck

I too have started and I'm using those little mouthwash size cups... I filled it up with cottage cheese today at the office... it took about 1/2 hr to eat bit/by/bite.... I find the cups allow me to know how much to take at a time so as not to get the full feeling... not only is it working....it looks like a lot of food to eat...

BTY... did your drain opening close ok?
