Feel the same

[km30381 2]

Hello. I had my surgery Oct 4th. 2 weeks out and still on very mostly liquids. My concern is I don't feel any restriction what so ever. I am sipping my Water and eating Jello and cream of wheat and chicken broth, etc. but everything goes down too easy. I have read where others have a hard time just getting water down. I'm so afraid this won't work for me. I had a lap band and lost over 100 lbs. to below my goal. Has anyone had a similar experience. hopefully the restriction will kick in later.

thanks

I've heard that some foods especially easily digestible foods go down easily ...some ppl have a hard time due to swelling if the stomach. Some ppl have less swelling or it goes down faster. When you get to eating more pureees I think you will likely feel the fullness

Just wait until you start putting some solids in your stomach, you're definitely going to feel it and that's why you want to go slow and chew thoroughly. The liquid diet stuff goes through pretty fast, it doesn't spend a lot of time in the stomach. The harder to digest stuff does, and you'll definitely start experiencing the full feeling when you start on that stuff.

I was the same way! I'm a little over 3 months out now and having added solid foods has made a difference but I still don't have a lot of issues. It's ok! Liquids pass through your stomach easier. Everyone's experience is different and if you can talk to your surgery team or nutritionist that should help.
