Hi. When I'm NOT vomiting, it seems like I can eat WAY more food than I should be able to. Like, for instance, today for lunch I ate a chicken pot pie, an entire one. I didn't feel particularly full or stuffed and I definately didn't vomit. For dinner tonight I had an entire salisbury steak, mashed potatoes and corn. Now normally, I vomit daily, and somedays it seems like I vomit everything I eat. I think I can eat way too much when I am able to eat, any body else have this happen or have a good explanation as to why sometimes I can eat like a pig, then other times I can't eat anything, then what I do eat comes right back up again? Thank you much!

Mary,IMO,That seems like a lot of food and your just a little over a month out.
I was not even on solids untill six weeks out.Maybe that is why your vomitting so much. I think its alot of food and I am 14 months out.Maybe someone closer to your surgery will respond and shed some light. Good Luck~ V

I think it dependds on the consistency and heaviness of what you're eating and we're definitely all different. I could probably eat an entire chicken pot pie- the small single servings ones. For dinner I've had a salisberry steak, mashed potatos and corn but it's probably 2-3 tbsp mashed potatos and 1 tbsp of corn. The heavier and greasier the food, the less I can eat (I can't even touch sausage which I used to love).
I can eat 1/2 of a garden salad from a fast food place- they seem to serve them huge though. I probably eat 3-4 oz of meat for dinner and 1-2 tbsp of some other type of side like some apple wedges, salad (maybe 1/2 cup) or some steamed veggies. I'm not sure about the vomiting though - never had that problem (almost unfortunately ...)

Well I guess you're better than me cause I can't eat 7 oz of anything n one sitting. I make sure I get my proten drinks everyday although I can not finish a whole bottle of Isopure. It takes me 2 1/2 days to eat 1 can of Stallone's High Protein Pudding.

One month out I could eat two bites of meat and nothing else. Now that I am 7 months out I can eat more. I can eat a 9 oz frozen dinner no prob as long as it is soft. If it is really dence or over cooked it is really hard for me to eat much of it. Chicken is the worst for me, like eating rocks. Soft food goes down so much better. It scares me though, I eat a lot of a soft food and I think my pouch is getting big or something.

I can not eat that much either. I eat 3 times a day. Usually, a protein smoothie for breakfast or lunch and then chicken or soup for lunch and dinner. Usually, I can drink more of the smoothie than anything else. Also, softer foods like pudding, refried beans, etc. I can eat more of
