2 weeks post-op--very little restriction

[Debrry 32]

Believe me this does not make any sense to me and I hate it!!!

Ok two questions are you cleared by your doc to eat all foods?

And how big was the burger? I mean burgers come in all sizes.

I def think it depends on the dr. Next week I will be starting phase three at 2 weeks out and my surgeon has cleared ground turkey and ground chicken for this stage, so the burger is plausible.

Frozen burger.. I tried to look in MFP but it doesn't give ounces.

Yes, definitely plausible. In fact not uncommon for five weeks out, I was asking just to get a general idea of her diet plan..

And about the burger if its in the 2 to 4 oz range doable! Yes some people only eat 2oz but some can handle a little more. So don't let that worry you! Just make sure to measure your food. And if its 4oz that's ok it's still a lot less than you were eating before?

Ok... well I have two types of frozen turkey burgers here and one is gigantic the other is small I! I eat the entire small one easy!! Do you have the brand ?

And as far as being hungry 3 to 4 hours later yes that is normal too!

I am almost 2 weeks post op and haven't started stage 3 yet but I'm starving!! I can't take anymore Protein Shakes, chicken broth or unflavored Protein anymore! I just want some kind of food substance! Anyone else feel like this??

I am 5 weeks out and in the same situation as you. Very Little Restriction. Tonight for dinner I ate a turkey burger with a slice of cheese and no roll. I was able to eat the whole thing without any pain' date=' discomfort... I'm not too sure what to think....[/quote']

I'm 4 weeks out and can eat a turkey burger patty. Not a big deal.

I asked my nut if it was ok I could drink a lot 3 oz at a time . She said that it wasn't the drinking that could ever stretch your sleeve but overeating. Was she wrong?

[Debrry 32]

Thanks girls! I just can't even think about going through all of this and the doctor didn't take enough of my stomach.... The burger was a small one not big like hang over the bun big! HA!

My dr said that drinking could only stretch your stomach right after surgery - like the first dew daya (and even then it doesn't really stretch, but could stress it). Water won't stretch it, moves through there too fast.

Yep. Me too. I know it's all in my head but after the pre op clear liquid diet and then surgery on the 19th I'm ready for something that I can't see through!
