1 Week Post Op And It Feels Like They Forgot The Sleeve

[mountaingirlCO 9]

I am just over one week post op and it feels like they removed the band but forgot the sleeve. I just started soft foods yesterday and feel like I could eat far more than the one ounce every two hours I am suppose to. Anyone else have this experience?

Wow! Your diet progressed fast. I was liquids for a week, puréed for two weeks, mushy for two weeks, soft foods foods after that.

Your tummy is still healing and numb. You may not be able to feel the restriction yet. What are you eating?

Yeah I am 12 days out and I still have 9 more days of liquids

I was on liquids for 1 week. Weeks 2 and 3 are liquids plus 1 ounce every 2 hours of one of the following: egg whites, refried Beans, yogurt, sf pudding or lf cottage cheese. I know 1 ounce isn't that much but I swear I don't feel anything. I remember feeling much more restriction with the band early in the process. I am just worried I am going to be able to eat too much if I am not really careful.

If you measure out one ounce every two hours, you aren't in any danger of eating too much. Chew chew chew and take at least 15 minutes to eat it. Restriction will come with denser food.< /p>

I feel the same way.

Heard that once we get "real" food you'll feel it.

Keep us posted. You're not the only one.

allons-y

listen to lipstick lady...

At this stage eat by the scale and clock...you just dont feel it due to nerve damage and soft/liquid food. It will change, so dont cause issues by overdoing it now.
