Healed, Bigger or Relaxed Pouch?



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 1/2 months post-op and last night, I was able to eat a bit more than a half of a small filet of Talapia. I was impressed because I thought eating Salmon, Talapia and Cod was over since every time I had eaten it, I would get deathly sick because it just wouldn't go down right. I guess I should say that I DARED to eat some Talapia last night and it worked. Still some work, but not like the past. My question to everyone on the forum...What is going on internally that makes difficult foods in early stages become easier to eat? Is your body healing or healed or is the stomach pouch getting bigger or relaxed?

My best guess is that we don't have as much stomach acid as before. As you introduce "difficult" foods into your diet, your stomach has to adapt and figure out how to process them.

I think it's really going to depend on each of us. I'm exactly 5 weeks out today and I had part of a tilapia fillet last night with no problem. I broiled tilapia and pureed it during my puree phase as well and had no issues with it. It never ceases to amaze me how complex and individual our bodies all are!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
