I am 6 months out and depending on the day i can eat half a cup to a fourth of cup i can drink Water no problem i can get 8 ozs down in 15 minutes with no pain as long as its little sips still. food one day i can eat something the next day makes me sick. My dr said never eat more than 3/4 of a cup till i am further out and handling food at ever meal. I still have to do shakes just to get all my Protein in. Sent from my DROID RAZR using RNYTalk

My husband and my mom are the only ones that know i had it done. I had my gallbladder removed at the same time. so when people ask about my weight loss i just tell them i had my gallbladder removed and now there is food i cant eat plus i gave up sugar cause of family history of diabetes.
