No feeling of restriction at 2 months

[banksdea 10]

I'm 2 months out and noticed that I am able to eat a lot more food without a feeling of restriction ????. I almost feel like I'm able to eat a regular size meal versus 2-3 bites then feeling full.

Oh I'm so pleased I'm not the only one, I keep telling people I don't think they actually did the surgery, just stuck me with knives so it looks like the did lol

My surgery was on the 14th of May, my dietician said that it's good I don't feel restrictions or any pain etc because I'm obviously not pushing it, so I will listen to what she says but sometimes I would like a little side effect just so I know it's doing its job

I'm 5 days out and I'm amazed how much liquid I can drink at this point. It makes me wonder how much food I'll be able to eat.

Hey wascott, how you feeling?

Are you back home?

How was your flight?

[banksdea 10]

I went from consistently feeling full at 2-3 bites to finishing a whole normal size plate of food and drinking a lot more Water. I know that after a few weeks of being sleeved, I was depressed and regretted my surgery. I even prayed to God to stretch my stomach because I was so uncomfortable. It feels like he answered that prayer ???? because I feel slightly like my old self, lol. I'm going to call my surgeon on Monday because something is off.

@@BusyLizzy I'm back home and feeling great. The trip home was miserable because my last flight was delayed and we ended up driving instead. Didn't get to bed until 3am.

That sucks about your flight but great news on your speedy recovery????????????

Did the OCC provide you with compression socks?

Did they give you meds for nausea/vomiting?

[wascott 395]

@@BusyLizzy They provided compression socks while I was at the OCC. Anti-nausea medication was included in the medications that I left with. I also got a second one when I was there fkr my leak test just in case. I didn't need it though.

[BusyLizzy 13]

How's the liquid like that you need to drink for the leak test?

[wascott 395]

@@BusyLizzy it was barium. I don't remember if it had any flavor. You don't have to drink very much. (One swallow) They watch it go down on a live xray. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes.

Thanks!

Do you feeling hungry?

Is it true the surgery removes part of the hunger hormone producing portion of the stomach?

[wascott 395]

I read that hunger should be reduced. I have felt hungry. Nothing too bad though. I've been on liquids for so long that I'm really looking forward to eating solid food again. I will continue to follow the rules in the mean time.
