Umm.. yeah... you do know that the only thing between you and certain death is a line of staples, right? Have you ever torn stapled papers apart? Not hard to do, right? How about lets start being cautious with your wounded tummy until it has time to heal. It takes between 6-8 weeks to form the first layer of scar tissue. Until that time, it's possible to create a leak at the staple line. That is why the postop dietary progression is usually 8-9 weeks long. Drink slowly, measure your purees.. keep it to 4oz. Just because you can consume more doesn't mean you should. When you get to solid protein, you'll feel the restriction.. but in the meantime do what you are supposed to do. Curiosity can kill, this early in the game.

Pureed foods is basically liquid. Liquids flow through our new stomachs really easy, that's part of why we are only allowed Pureed at this point. Don't test your stomach like that with the water experiment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not worth it!! If you are concerned you can eat too much...than don't eat that much. You will find out how much solids you can handle when you move on to that stage. Liquids just flow through, solids is where the real test will be. And, I'm saying this with love and support, stop eating 12 ozs of food just because you can. Period. You didn't go through this major life change just to turn around and eat too much. Stick to the 4-6 oz's. Even if you are physically capable of ingesting more liquid than that right now.

Everything she said ^^^^. Follow your doc's orders during a pregnancy and always remember, it's all about the baby. Due to other complications during my pregnancy (had before surgery) , I gained 15 lbs only following every order given. Doc reminded me all the time, "it's not about you, but the health of your baby" remember this and congrats on your success thus far and baby to be soon.

I bought baby forks and spoons. It really did help a lot too

I'm 13 months post op and I've lost over 200 pounds. But I remember like it was yesterday waiting to get approved. It took me over a year to finally get a date for surgery. I wish you all the best! And if you have any questions, I'm here! [emoji4]

Hi, I am so sorry you don't feel good. Just give it a little bit of time. Make sure your Dr knows how it is going. I know this sounds so cliche but it will get better and everything that you are going thru now will be OH SO WORTH IT!!!

I LOVE TOAST! But I have stopped making bread because I have no self-control when it comes to toast, so my special carb-treat each week is sushi (I love sushi, too). It's way more expensive than yummy-nummy toast so I don't feel compelled to get some every day. Still, I miss the toast.
