Am I able to eat to much?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery 8 days ago and had been on a liquid diet since. Today I had a follow up with my surgeon and nut. Nut asked if I was having any problems with the Protein and I said no between Protein shakes and oikos triple 0 i was getting a good amount. She said eating a hole oikos triple 0 was over 2x the amount i should be eating at once. She moved me to soft foods and said keep it to 1/4 a cup per (2oz) meal and drink a shake for a snack.

Kind of worried when I read people 2-3 weeks out of surgery saying they have a hard time getting 2oz in and its easy for me.

Is it possible to stretch you sleeve that quick?

Thanks

Your swelling is probably going down sooner. Overall the idea is to stop eating before we are full. That may be why your nut changed things up for you. Just guessing.

Yogurt is a liquid, so it isn't really going to cause restriction. Some people heal faster than others. be happy and grateful, it means you can meet your Protein goals easier.

I just had my 2 week follow up last week and had basically the same issue. I felt as though I could intake more than I should be able to. But they said it was fine, some people's sleeve heals faster amd can tolerate more than others. They also said it would take a lot and be difficult to stretch the sleeve at this stage.

I've read on here it happens bc the nerves are not healed in your stomach yet. Search "no feeling of fullness" or something like that and the explanations should come up. I wish they covered this in classes before the surgery!

I'm 9 days post op and not eating enough I know. I have no desire for food. I've now set myself a reminder to have my shakes now. I hope that helps.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
