Trust me me and a lot of others felt the same way I'm 3.5 weeks out now and the first real food was pork tenderloin and up until then I questioned if they even did anything to me other than put holes. But a bite and a half of tenderloin and

I was done liquids and mushys don't do it but solids will show you.

I didn't feel the full effect until I started eating solid foods. Even now I can eat more squishy soft foods and don't feel much restriction... But when I eat solid I do. 6 months out today

I was sleeved Oct 1 and I have been on soft foods for a week. On the first day, the first thing I ate was some scrambled eggs. I took two bites and was immediately turned off. I didnt know what was going on, but now as I begin to eat more foods, I have learned that this feeling is a feeling of fullness. It wasnt until today that I actually felt that feeling of fullness. Like I just had a full meal. I had one salmon croquett, approx 2oz. and a quater cup of canned pineapple. Its going to take time for the swelling to go down and for your stomach to be able to handle the 3 to 4 oz of food later on... The sounds coming from your stomach is mostly air, making you gurgle...think of a garbage disposal. It takes a while for food to go down, you have to turn it on in order to work...

      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.
