chanelle102 173 Posted December 19, 2013 Days out and I feel my stomach can handle so much more!!! I don't necessarily need to sip so many small sips!!! And I can eat 2 2 ounce meals a day with finishing a applesauce! Has anyone else had and experience with this? 1 Jdub reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jdub 109 Posted December 19, 2013 I'm on day 10 here and the last day or two I've found that I can actually take a good mouthful of liquid now. I still remind myself to take it slow when drinking the high Protein shakes etc... as they can sit pretty heavy in the stomach. I'm still on full liquids for 3 more weeks until I meet with my surgeon again on Jan 14th then he'll move me on to the mushee/puree stage, and then no solids for an additional 4 weeks after that! I'm glad you are doing so well too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chanelle102 173 Posted December 19, 2013 It's so weird how every doctor is different!!! I moved into the soft stages on Tuesday!!! I eat one meal a day so far!! Fish and sweet potato two ounces Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sabredy12 55 Posted December 19, 2013 I know what u mean Chanelle. I'm day 8 and really really weak. I know if I ate I'd feel better, had my staples out yesterday and they want me to do another two weeks of liquid dunno if ill be able tbh!! Christmas in all!! I've just sorted out my gas and Constipation unfair I mean if we could so this why would I need this op!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chanelle102 173 Posted December 19, 2013 Call your doc and see if he will allow to eat puréed food like tuna with fat fee mayo Greek yogurt!! It's such a small amount of food the liquids are heavier I'm gonna upload you a pic!! I'm sorry your going through this!! I go back to the doc jan 8th and if everything looks good I can start solids I'm nervous!! But I have been including 1 meal a day for the past two days and it's been great!!! Also try making a hearty Protein shake 2 scoops of Protein 4 ounce Water 4 ounce silk milk Little less than a half of banana And frozen peaches mangoes That's about 40 grams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sissy13 138 Posted December 19, 2013 I didn't have any outter staples either just steri-strips. I'm 5 weeks out and can't still eat much. I'm on soft food phase and usually only eat 2 meals which consists of around 6 bites (and I'm stuffed) then I usually do a snack once a day and a morning Protein Shake. Not eating much or drinking much at all but what I do have fills me up. I guess I'll take it because im down 33lbs since surgery and 48 since beginning of my journey.
