Musica,
WELCOME to the RR family! you are never alone here
OMGosh YES!! i am having a day like that today!!

I eat about 2 oz at a time and then I'm full, but i actually woofed down about 3 oz of my "meal" tonight before i got full!! lol-- i felt like a little piggy!!

BUT the fact that i feel like i pigged out at only 3 oz of food is just tooooo funny to me--- before i ate CUPS of food and never felt satisfied!!
ALWAYS I try to make sure that i get all my vitamins, water and proteins in before anything else though- no matter what. We have very small pouches, so make it all count! We need to eat like this for the rest of our lives.
Rule of thumb: follow your DR's diet.
MY rule of thumb--- follow the Dr's diet and lick/chew/suck and spit what ever ya can (sugar free of course!). LOL
I don't get "hungry" (though i am always thirsty and want salt

) but my head wants to eat it all still.
So these last days i find that i will TASTE pretty much water i want, meaning that i lick it or suck on it and or chew it and get all the flavor out and then spit it out... NO SWALLOWING. I only had surgery on Oct 15 so "food" is out for me -- im still doing "mushies". Every doc goes at their own pace. I ask so many questions, but in the end i follow my docs orders to a T.
As for me on this "chew and spit" faze, I guess it is just a faze and will pass as i graduate into solids. So i am not worried and the weight just keeps slipping off.
FYI- I also had a few days where i seemed to stall though, and even 1 day i gained! but a lot has to do with water and your body just being your body--- so don't weigh every day-- try to do it just 1nce a week.
You WILL lose weight so never fear!
Pain- if it is really bad call your doc.
I had some discomfort the first 24 hrs of being home and took dr prescribed vicadin, then came off all meds/pain pills and just put up with it.
My pain level was about a 5 out of 10 after about 2 days of being home. If it were higher then that i would have stayed on the pills longer.
My stomach scars (had 6 "holes" in all) are just about all faded into my skin now. No more jagged redness or scabbies. Can't harldy feel them with your hand either- they are almost all flat. Though there is still some numbness in the cut areas. But I can't believe how fast the heal!!
Funny though-- even though my pain was minimal upon few days of being home, last week i had some real pain-- it would be throughout the day. My level was about 6.5 out of 10--- but i figured i was doing a bit too much even though i thought i was taking it easy-- so i slowed myself down some and now all is great again
Just hang in there....it gets easier.
