  1. Surgeon follow up- 6wks post- So far I have been doing good. I asked about the stricture with solids. He advised it is normal. The way my stomach was designed it will stretch eventually little by little so solids will go down easier. It takes about a year for the stomach to reach the size it was intended to be. He said 6mths from now, I should be able to eat solids comfortably, just very little portions of course. Am allowed to start weights and I have to increase my water intake. That's all for now.

      He also advised that drinking before food is not that crucial. It is drinking after eating that is crucial. The 30 minute wait is more important after eating then it is before eating. He used the analogy of a straw. Liquid first, food after, no problems. Food in a straw, then add liquid, problems.
