Worried my pouch can hod too much

[Ginnywinny]

Hi all,

So I'm 11 days post op and on the pureed diet. I'm a bit worried that my pouch is able to hold so much this early on. It can eat between 200 and 250ml (1 cup) of homemade soup during a 30 minute meal with out feel full or uncomfortable. Surly this isn't right. I'd be really interest to know what other people can eat.

Thanks Ginny

Hi Ginny, I had my op a few days before you. I realise my pouch could hold much more than I am eating at the moment too.... I havnt pushed myself to eating a cup... I cut myself off at 3-4 dessert spoons. But I find I could hold more if I pushed it and continue eating.....I still don't fell restriction, don't know if its because im not allowing myself more than 3-4 spoons at any one time... Im so scared of stretching my pouch... I think the first time I feel proper restriction that would make me happy...I hope that is soon.....

Thank you for your reply. I think I am surprised at how powerful the head hunger is and the desire to clear the plate.

I am suffering with head hunger a lot.. My stomach isn't hungry ... But my head tell me I am.. Strange really..

relax ......its when you start proper food again you'll find out your limits on what you can eat I found that no two days are the same one day I can eat a sausage or two and the next not even a bite .....oh and don't shop whilst you're hungry as you'll buy and cook more than you'll eat ......its very hard trying to buy just enough for one dinner/lunch because your head will still be in the need to feed body instead of your pouch if that makes sense well I have been up since 4.30am
