I'm almost 4 months in since surgery and I kind of freaked myself out today. While in Soft food stage, I was in encourage (by doctors) to eat 2 eggs....I was never able to..not even after solid food...I would feel stuff after just eating ...but this morning, without realizing I ate both eggs....is my stomach getting bigger??

Your question is not silly! (I've cornered that market.:) ).

Seriously, if something picks at your brain, makes you anxious, or causes you any distress and it's because you are unsure about something... how can that be silly? Ask away. There will almost always be someone else who will benefit from your question and the comments that follow.

We have essentially the same surgery date (me only two days before you). Those eggs did nothing wrong. You did nothing wrong. You were able to consume an excellent Protein source and keep it down. I remember when even one egg was a challenge. It still is, to some extent, but I just carry on with what my body is telling me. I'm actually grateful that my body is able to take in a bit more as time passes. Three spoonfuls of food just didn't seem like a meal. And it hurt after. Now, I can eat what looks like a normal-ish portion and it sits nicely in my pouch. The biggest no-no for me has been forgetting about drinking milk or Water during a meal. That ruins the meal. And how can a meal feel satisfying when pain follows? Sometimes it takes repeated failures to learn a lesson. Soup, oddly, doesn't seem to have the same effect, even when it's "thick" soup with lots of ingredients. I haven't figured out that one.

I agree with @Missouri-Lee's Summit No question is silly, I wondered that myself when I can gradually eat a little more than I did before...so thanks for asking that question. 🙂

Thank you very much!! I haven't tried soup yet...been a bit afraid of that lol did you doctor told you to drink with meals? Mine has me stop drinking 30 mins before a meal and start drinking 30 mins after a meal.

And you are right about enjoying a meal and feeling pain...its such a terrible feeling...in public I just deal with it but at home I have let put a scream or two lol

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
