I'm 6 days out and and I'm guilty, for the last 2 days I've been picking (literally...pinch size) at food. Goes down ok (chewed very very well)...it fills me. I'm a little worried I could be damaging my pouch and or staples, I feel good though, no nausea, no vomitting. I can't wait till I'm able to sit and enjoy a small dinner with my husband and kids.
