The same happened to me, I thought my pouch was broken! Once you start on solid food, restriction will kick in big time. Also as your body is still healing, the stomach nerves haven't all recovered yet so you won't feel much restriction. Just take it easy, and don't push yourself

Phewwww thanks so much , I was thinking what on earth is all these people on about I feel so full etc , I just stop myself at say have a tin of soup now and think well don't eat any more yet it's too early and when I eat like half a jacket potato with a spoon of cottage cheese still feel ok , but can't wait for the feeling to start as it scares me tbh xxx

It will happen, don't worry
I am 7 months post op and what i find is different foods feel different, and my restriction varies. One day i can eat a bit more than normal, other days (like today) i had about half a chicken thigh and 2 spoons of rice and beans, and had to stop

Reading this is reassuring. I'm so used to eating until I'm really full. I'm now on the puree stage and am not feeling the same full feeling. I also have to stop myself and ~I try and eat by the clock. Also everytime I eat I keep on burping (and I don't mean little polite burps). I do hope this changes soon.

I am
Now on normal foods and get a variation on my restrictions , I can eat a tea plate of food that's it but I can feel it more now am
On solid foods , example breakfast small
One egg omelette with feta cheese
Lunch small salmon fillet with veg
Dinner chicken steak pork mince with veg small portions of meat no more than 2 to 3 ounces of meat ,
Snakes high protein yogurt
Thins cracker with cheese spread and olives x I avoid starchy carbs like bread pasta rice and stuff as it slows my weight loss down and bloats me cxx and if been to the gym I have the off protein shake

Andibee: that's good I suppose it's about what works for you. Hoping I feel restriction soon. I feel uncomfortable but not full when I eat.
JJ: I'm also finding the purée hard. I have to keep reminding myself what it Should look like then I get all paranoid and add lots of water to it and it tastes terrible. I've not done any exercise and I need to start wAlking I'm going back to work next week and I will be on my feet constantly. I'm dreading it. Do you work if so when are you going back? I'd lost 20lb up to last Friday which is good. I was told we should loose between 3-6lbs each week for first 8 weeks. I hope there right.
