Things Learned

[Ron Love 10]

As I enter my fourth week post op I learned that my new stomach does not like Beans, dumplings, beef and potstickers. No matter how much chewing and mushy it is.

That sucks. I'm heading into week five and so far, my sleeve has been able to handle whatever I've given it, as long as I don't put too much in and it's thoroughly chewed. It seems to vary so much from person to person and I don't know that anyone is able to explain why. Same mystery as why nothing tastes any different to me, but for some people their taste buds change a lot after surgery. It's clear that the surgery causes a lot more changes than just reducing the size of the stomach, though.

I, too, have been really lucky that nothing has caused an issue, so far. Next Sunday, I get to add fish (specifically my favorite, salmon), so that will be my first real test with something more dense. I added scrambled eggs today, and as much as some people have talked about how eggs were/are really tough/impossible for them, they have given me no trouble at all.

I eat everything one item at a time, though. Once I get the fish re-introduced next week, I'll start trying to have a little of two things at once rather than having them in two separate "meals."
