2 weeks post op and i dont feel different!

[Sumsuz68 53]

Starting to freak out a little here! I am exactly 2 weeks post op today, have been given the green light to eat new foods and I feel like I could eat and eat and eat! I read on here that when I started solid Protein I would finally feel restriction. Well, not the case. I have a chicken leg (which I was sure to chew very well) and it went down just the same as pre surgery. Granted, I am eating less, but the only thing that gives me any feeling of restriction. Is cottage cheese so far. I even ate a little bit of a muffin today and felt fine and wanted more! What is wrong with me?!

At two weeks your stomach is probably still "numb" that's why it is very important to measure your food. Make sure at this point that you are eating no more than 1/4 cup at a time.

Could your nerves still be healing so you "can't" fully feel full. Don't push it - you might hurt yourself!

nothing. I'm able to eat anything also and am able to get all Protein and liquids in. However when I take too big of a drink or too big of a bite, I feel the restriction. Everyone heals at different rates and maybe you don't have as much swelling as some others. I think that's my case. As long as you follow the plan and eat healthy, you'll lose weight. I'm just thankful that its been smooth going for me...yes, I have experienced sliming and felt tightness in my chest, but it's a learning experience for me.

The first time I ate chicken, I didn't feel any strictures, but I knew to quit after a small piece.

I was told that I could have 2 - 4 oz at this time.
