Feeling full
I've been really careful to not over eat and measure what I put on my plate. I often feel stuffed and am wondering if I need to cut back so I'm not stretching out my pouch. I typically eat 3/4 of a cup of food. Is that stuffed feeling ok? There is such little difference between still hungry and totally full.
If you are feeling over full then I would say that you are eating too much. I do not know how much 3/4 of cup is. I do everything by weight. You are not very far out so I was able to eat about 1 -2 oz of dense protein and maybe a bite of a vegetable but not usually. Also the more dense protein you eat the fuller will probably feel and it will stay with you longer.
Have you met with a nutritionist? I'm still pre-op, but mine gave me very specific guidelines about how much I should eat per meal (2-3 oz) and how I should feel afterward.

For me, full is the difference between one or two bites. Maybe eat a little slower and pay close attention to any cues your body might give you. Or perhaps stopping when you're satisfied, versus "full" because it turns to over-full so quickly. As well, I'm further out than you and I can only eat about 2 ounces of anything, so you might be overdoing it with 3/4 of a cup, even if it is mushy.
