13 days ago I had a stomach.



Recommended Posts

It's weird I had my surgery May 1 & haven't eaten anything just fluids broth, Water, Premier Protein shakes with lots and lots of ice and Crystal light. I'm not hungry one bit. I went to the doctor yesterday to get my staples taken out and spoke to my surgeon said I was doing really good I lost 20 pounds but I feel like I could drink more liquids easyish now. I'm curious in two days when I could start eating soft. Foods how it's going to feel in my stomach. This is all such a weird feeling.

Liquids are easier but food, nope! I was sleeved 4/18 and 1/8th of cup satisfies me. If I eat 1/4 I'm too full.

Oh. The staples that were taken off we're on the surface of my stomach to hold the incisions together that the surgeon made for the tools that were used during surgery.

Most people don't get incision staples that have to be removed later. I certainly didn't. I can't remember if I had dissolvable stitches or glue; either way, no action required post-op.

Since you've been on liquids, I'd recommend your first solids are like pudding consistency. You will get full very quickly. My first thing I tried was blended up split pea Soup. Was full after 2-3 spoonfuls.

Well I'm glad for you. I guess I'm not most people.

For sure I have a list of things and a vitamix to purée everything.
