Please follow the plan given to you by your surgeon. Your stomach is healing, and it is VERY important.

I get that, but changing your relationship with food and not letting food drive you to bad decisions is the most important part of this journey. If you want to be successful, you'll quit letting food dictate your every move. Honestly, if you make these kinds of decisions at 3 days out, what makes you think you'll make the right decisions at 3 months out or 3 years out?

If you can't do this on your own, I recommend seeking out a psychologist to help you. You are worth the effort.

Good luck.

You are having head hunger. Your new belly will not be able to handle more than clear liquid or full liquids at the very best. Don't rush it! You could literally rupture you stomach.

I found that by day 9 or 10, I could drink an 11 oz Premier Protein Skake in 10 minutes. I drank a 32 oz Powerade Zero in just under an hour. Now at two weeks out I can eat about 1 1/2 cups of Soup for lunch no problem. I'm not really getting that bloated feeling I had in first week each time I drank anything. Is this what you are experiencing?

No I'm only 3days out nd the smell of food is bothering me.. But I just learn how to tune it out of my mind

It will get easier and before you know it you will be back to a "regular" diet. I'm 8.5 weeks post op and that liquid diet feels like ages ago
