Baby Stomachs And The Sleeve

[msvickee 212]

Our new stomachs can be compared to a baby's stomach. The baby is on liquids, then thicker liquids if you choose to put a dab of baby Cereal in the milk to thicken it up, then on to puréed foods and so on. We don't give babies a chicken leg at 1 month old do we? Lol I certainly hope not.

We should not be so quick to want to introduce all of the foods we once ate and loved before its time. Protect our stomachs like we would protect our babies' stomachs.

my mom lives on the opposite coast than me.

i tried to explain how small my new tummy is 85% gone. I tried to compare my new stomach and how little it is. won't be able to eat much,

i tried to compare her 82 yr. old stomach - she is extremely thin, and she can only eat a little bit per meal. stomach won't allow her to eat more.

i think she got it finally - as far as not being able to eat at the beginning and slowing moving on, its like you first have to learn to crawl, then walk, then eventually you can run like you rule the world
