  1. Hello Everyone- My name is Nathen Erickson and I am writing for some help or answers to questions. I had my surgery 1/25/2013, and stayed with the liquid diet throughout the first week no problem. The thing is in the first week, about 4 days in, I was able to eat 2 full cans of Cream of chicken by Campbells, and not get any un-easiness, pain, or throwing up symptoms. I was able to eat that much no problem? Now on Friday, I started semi-solids and solids, so I made a 3oz piece of chicken and some asparagus (8 very small and thin spears). I was able to eat that no problem with no dis-comfort and not achieving a sense of fullness, so I started getting frustrated. So yesterday, I felt I was tolerating everything really well, so I had 8 Schwans chicken fingers and some french fries (15 small) and cheeseballs (10 small), just to force myself to see if I COULD attain fullness or even throw up to know what my threshold was. Ate all of it no problem, and KINDA felt full. My question is that all the literature that I recieved from the doctor as well as online show that your stomach SHOULD only be able to hold a MAX of 2ozs? Well how is this possible? Has anyone else out there experienced this before? I go to my first Dr. appt on Tuesday as well as meet with a dietician that day. I am very frustrated with what I am experiencing, so if anyone could have suggestions or direct me where to read more on it, I would appreciate it. I can also be contacted on Facebook and my username is Nate A. Erickson in South Dakota. Thanks in advance for your help! Nate
