To full for dinner?

[Butterfly_lady]

Last few days I've been unable to eat my evening meal 2 mouthfuls and I'm stuffed, but I'm fine at brekkie 8.30(ish) (half a yogurt and a tablespoon NaS museli) fine at lunch (1pm ish) today it was home made veg soup with added ham for protein, for dinner I did some BBQ chicken with onions and mushrooms and a salad, I had half a cherry tom then next mouthful was a teeny button mushroom and that was it I was full?!?!

This has happened yesterday and today :sigh: Today I even stopped my cuppa at 4pm to make sure I had room for my dinner at 7pm

Are you still taking your time chewing? If I eat too fast it can trigger the feeling of restriction

 

[Butterfly_lady]

Yea, not doing anything different for dinner/lunch/brekkie

 

[Yvessa]

Is it hot where you are?

 

[Butterfly_lady]

It has been nicer the last few days

Just think how much weight you will be loosing, I would say as long as you keep your fluids up and try and squeeze in the protein, I wouldn't worry about not eating the rest.

Good luck

I struggle with dense chicken but I'm fine with the tender breast. Yet I can eat a full 6 oz steak Also as Yve indicated when the weather gets warmer some people feel their restriction kick right in there .. I have recently found that it does for me too. Just concentrate on getting the essential protein in and as Katy says keep up the fluids xx

I only eat chicken or my own home cooked gammon/ham, just seems weird how I can eat brekkie and lunch fine but come dinner its a no go, buttttttttttt I will get extra protein in earlier on, I'm not hungry so thats not an issue.

Welllllllllll I think I found the culprit for dinner I always have salad, as I can't eat any more of potato, I don't like pasta, rice & couscous fills me too much, Saturday fella decided to have salad too and he likes his cucumber peeled so as I did it in a big serve yourself bowl I too had it peeled and ate my small bowl of chicken salad, yesterday I had chicken salad and after a few mouthfuls I couldn't manage any more, so just tried salad for lunch with peeled cucumber and managed it

butterfly lady do you find you have improved from this now and think it was early days back then or was it a test if your pouch? Can you eat more than this just asking as most people post op seem to say same ... ?

TBH I still struggle to eat an evening meal so I tend to switch lunch/dinner around as at 1pm I can eat ok(ish) so my evening meal is 1/4 chcken breast and a tablespoon of veg, funny old game this WLS isn't it

I'm nearly a year out and my appetite lessens as the day goes on. Most evening I can barely manage a tablespoon of whatever I'm having. I don't worry though as I have a good breakfast and lunch xxx
