buttrfli1 17 Posted December 8, 2012 So, I am on day 10 and I know that I am ready to move out of liquids. Even thick puréed Soup doesn't stick long now. So tonight my mom was going to stop by after she went out to dinner. I asked for a hush puppy. She brought two. I chewed well so they were mushy but I am horrified that I could eat two! And possibly some other dinner here in a bit. I'm freaking out. I watched Dr Alvarez's video on "how big is my stomach" and he says 4-6 oz? So I'm thinking ok, how many ounces are those hush puppies? Shouldn't I still be swollen? Or is day 10 normal to not be that swollen anymore? Am I normal? I'm still in that place where I am so scared I am going to fail. That's all I've known.

SeriouslyChange 319 Posted December 8, 2012 I'm almost 2 weeks out so I know how you're feeling. I feel as though I'm getting "hungry" lol I wouldn't reccomend starches as a starter food. Try cottage cheese, an egg, or some thinly sliced deli meat. I'm looking forward to the eggs as soon as my surgeon Okays it on Tuesday. 1 Jenipher reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buttrfli1 17 Posted December 8, 2012 Feeling a bit better. I ate the small cup of chef boy r dee. Not the best but I need to go to the store. It was a 7.5 oz cup and I could only eat 1/2! That feels good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buttrfli1 17 Posted December 8, 2012 Yes the little micro ravioli. They are very tiny. Why is Tomato bad? I am taking Prevacid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now im on soft foods but i have eaten things that are not that soft and everything goes down fine.. Kind of worry about the size of my sleeve too!!! But yeah 2 weeks out i was on full liquids Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mom2IrishTwins 63 Posted December 9, 2012 No offense but...... A) If your Mom brought you a hush puppy, why couldn't she have instead brought you something healthy like an egg? Why would you choose fried dough as your first solid food? Lifestyle changes are very important here - It's not just a matter of what you CAN get into your stomach. I could get only cheesecake into my stomach if I wanted to but that wouldn't help me lose weight. 7 JenKMi, mizzzliza, suzthebrit and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aceves_soon 12 Posted December 9, 2012 slider foods will always "slide". just like mom2irishtwins said, if you eat healthier things youll find that they dont slide easily. like eggs, veggies and fruits and healthier carbs but i think ur too early for that. anything considered junk food will slide through your sleeve like potatoe chips, chocolate, hush puppies and such, basically carbs and no nutritional value foods. 1 Susie in Lima reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
