No problems eating... is that ok?

[nlmguerrero 50]

I had surgery on 12/14 and I have had no problems. I even feel like I'm eating well. Definitely less than what I was, and I'm in the puréed phase... but it concerns me. Anyone else like this? I feel like I'm supposed to be more restricted.

@@nlmguerrero I feel the same way, so far I have had no issues. Although I can't eat much. I was wondering did they take enough lol. Hearing everyone with their issues I was wondering what's wrong with me? I'm on puréed now and again so far so good. I was even swallowing pills couple hours after surgery.

Nope that is normal. You won't feel real restriction until solids. Believe me. I had a hard boiled egg early in my solids phase and omg didnt do that again for a while!

I'm the same way. I'm 4 weeks post op. No issues in my 2 week liquid phase, no issues in my 2 week soft foods/pureed phase. Getting my Protein and Water havent been an issue either. Tomorrow I'm starting the "regular food" phase...I'm so excited and nervous. If you have an IG you can find me at kissmytiara22

Thank you so much!!! I've been really worried! I obviously can't eat as much as I used to but I still can eat like a cup of Soup at one sitting. I see so many people say they eat only 1/4 cup and I'm like... uh oh!!!

My instruction at that phase was 1/2 cup portions. I measure everything still. Others may have been given instructions on smaller portions (1/4 cup).

I still measure and weigh everything now. I suggest getting a good little food scale, it helps with tracking everything. I weigh and measure my food and use small tupperware to portion it out.

that's because soup's a liquid - it goes right through you. The above poster is right - you'll feel restriction once you move to solid food.

Thank you for posting this! I posted something similar a few days ago and didn't get much of a response. These responses make me feel better about not feeling the restrictions. I'm still in the liquid phase but puree is coming next week! Sleeved 12/20/16.

I'm in the puréed stage, and I don't have any problems eating things like scrambled egg and super blended chicken salad. I have found that I can't get enough Protein in this way because of the restriction, so I still drink two shakes a day.

I'm two weeks and two days out from surgery and my doctor had me doing puréed foods rather quickly. I haven't had problems. I go to my follow up today. Hopefully everything is going how it should be.

Thankful for this post. 9 days out, and haven't had any issues so far. had a poached egg with some mashed up bean Soup, albeit,a small portion. Had felt like I got away with something until I saw this thread. stiches coming out tomorrow, finally!

Thanks for posting the question, I'm experiencing the same problem - was feeling regrets... after reading all responses, I feel much better now. Thanks again

I had RNY on 12/28 and I have had zero complications and I'm eating well. I had the lap band several years ago and I feel that has helped me understand the importance of small bites and chewing food to a soft consistency. I've lost 19 pounds in 10 days. Loving my decision

I'm 10 days post op Gastric Bypass and feeling so damn guilty. Its very difficult for me to follow guidelines. I was told that I'm allowed full fluids. I figured that meant I could eat pretty much anything I could turn into liquid form. So for about a week now I've been liquifying bottles of baby food with organic chicken broth. The baby food is a variety of Pasta, chicken or beef and vegetables. It's in liquid form so I drink 30ml every 15 minutes up to 90 minutes. But now I feel guilty because maybe I shouldn't be doing this. I haven't had any problems with any of what I've been eating. Getting in all my Protein, my fluids and I've been losing weight. Also, how many calories should I be eating daily at this stage?
