bigjim1 7 Posted October 6, 2016 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?

suzzzzz 1,005 Posted October 6, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted October 6, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ashleyrowles 15 Posted October 6, 2016 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.

limase63 39 Posted October 13, 2016 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!

De6270 24 Posted October 14, 2016 I'm three weeks out. I definitely get hungry. I struggle with eating too fast because I'm hungry! I went from liquids to foods. Just chew real well and take small bites. No problems really Sent from my XT1080 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
