8 days post op & barely feeling the restriction I felt even two days ago. Normal?

Everyone is different. As an rny person I don’t think I’ve personally had a significant “stall”.... more like a week with no movement but it moves eventually— especially if you are constipated and not eating enough Fiber.
I’ve slowed to barely 1 lb a week now but I’m very close to goal so I figure it BC my body is almost / or is at its natural weight.

Stalls are “normal” but different for everyone- maddening I know but hang in there!

I never had any issues with restriction on liquids. But once food was introduced that changed. I am 7 weeks post op and still have a few issues if I am not mindful of bite sizes and eating slower.

I think I am in the same boat as everyone 1 week post-op....

I gulp liquids (but still dehydrated because I don't do it enough). But sometimes I have pain because I think I have too much and other times, none.

I did sneak a small snack cup of hummus and it felt like a liquid going down but fuller, I guess would be the word?

I am scared because I didn't lose in the first week and I am way under Protein, but I also am having trouble making myself drink Soups and what not slowly.

My VSG may stretch this is so bad! But I am not hungry and definitely am not overeating....
