I ate sf Jello and pudding for like a a week I couldn't stomach Protein drinks for about a month I ate some egg whites around day 8 post op and I was fine. I had surgery at Lutheran in Brooklyn 9/17 I've lost 40 lbs post op. so far. You'll stop thinking about food so much when you over eat a few times. For me it feels like I'm having a heart attack when I over eat.

I felt 85% better after the first week. I actually went back to work within a week after surgery. I did have a pain in my right side for a good 5 weeks. My doctor told me that's where he pulled my stomach out.
