EAT slowly, chew and chew...dont drink when eating...any sign of restriction, like back pain, chest pressure, stop and wait it out....I am 6 weeks post op and I still have foods that I cannot eat...anything dry or even semi moist at times will get me a bit of back pain. I have not had a fill and was told not ready fror one yet,,,,

Thanks alot. I havent had a fill yet. I can't eat alot which I guess is a good thing. I will still take it slow. I had my first solid food and was able to only eat half and I was full and doing great on it. I go back in 2 weeks to get the first fill which I may still not need. They said when u start solids your stomach stretches a little. Was you able to eat more once you started the solids than before while you were on liquids. I really hope my appetite don't pick up now with the new foods

I am eating solids, but it takes time and I have to be careful, even at 6 weeks out...everyone is different, I was reading where some people have to have a fill in a month or less and I am weeks out and still having restriction...you will know when u need a fill...

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
