Able To Eat More Over Night?!



Recommended Posts

I am almost 3 weeks post-op and since the surgery, have not been able to eat more than 1/2 a cup during a given period of time. Today, however, I ate a cup of soft food for Breakfast and a cup of food for lunch...effortlessly! Am I losing my mind....or is this normal??

some foods go down much easier than others for me. somedays I can eat a whole cup of food withput any effort and others I can barely get 500 calories in for the day. last night I had 2 oz. of talapia and some zucchini and I coulnt finish it. to me it is how dense the Protein is. Make sure you are not drinking and eating at the same time

For me, it depends on how much Protein is in what I am eating. If there is a lot of protein, I can't eat as much. I can eat a lot more of foods that don't have a lot of protein. So I can eat a cup of pudding or Jello, but I can't eat 4 ounces of chicken.< /p>

Yup- can eat, drink lots of Soups, yogurts, Protein Shakes (up to 8oz in 30 min) but need to stop at 3oz of deli meat.

I find anything that is drip-able, smooshable or needs a lid... I can have lots more of!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
