Ding! Ding! Ding!

That? That's the sound of my full signal. Except it isn't. I'm 6 days post op and although I do feel pressure sometimes, it's usually just because I'm gulping and not sipping on my Water. I've been staying hydrated; lots of fluids and I'm feeling good. However, tonight, I'm trying to add some yogurt into my diet (I'm allowed 2-4 Tbls. of it).

I ate the whole container.

Now, who could blame me? I've loved key lime all my life, and Greek yougurt was a new one for me, and it was so delicious, and....yeah. Gone.

The package says it contains 6oz. of yogurt. By my calculations, that's about 3 times what I should have had. But the sleeve was ok with this. No foaming, no bubbling, not even a tiny little burp to let me know that capacity had been reached. And I ate it slowly, about 30-40 minutes.

Right now, between my confusion and guilt of my transgression, I'm just going to concentrate on sticking to my diet. Meeting with the dietician tomorrow, probably will have to confess.

But does this have ominous implications? Did my stomach really get smaller, or did they just harvest one of my kidneys?

I guess I'll just have to see. I suppose I could have made a worse choice.

You're fine. It's yogurt. Believe me when I tell you, you'll start to feel restriction when you move to mushies!! You're just a fast healer--celebrate that. :-) Yogurt's consistency makes it a full liquid in my nutritionist's plan (anything you can slurp with a straw), so I don't think you've done anything wrong. Hang in there; you'll feel that restriction soon enough!
