The thing is not to try and increase food intake if you feel uncomfortable with it. You will just, like you have, have toilet breaks more often.

Just take your time with it. At this stage you still don't need much and little, 4 times a day is fine. Your body will settle down and you will sense when it's time to move on rather than thinking you should be moving on now.

Water is a must. I don't drink as much as I should. That's my downfall!

Over 6 months on and I still put too much on my plate. That's something we are all going to have to learn but will take a long time.

Just had a jacket potato with cheese, lettuce and 2 slices of ham. Ate the jacket and cheese (Left the skin) and 1 slice of ham, didn't touch the lettuce! It really does take a long time to live with the op. But this is only if you look after your pouch. Don't eat too much and you won't stretch it, so you won't eat much for the rest of your long fit and active life
