TX40 got a reaction from maynellrmnderm in Expected stomach capacity
The Protein Drinks for diabectics (even though I am not a diabetic) worked great for me...Ensure or something like that...they will give you a list of approved foods..I did broths and Protein Shakes mostly...once I found something that worked well..I stuck with it....I didnt order anything special, I found what I needed at Wal-Mart or Target. Not to worry..they will give you great post op instructions and suggestions as you get closer to surgery time.

I totally agree with Mednar...for me being 3 1/2 weeks out I am noticing I can eat more food, ,,but it totally depends on the consistancy of the food...protein fills me up very fast but carbs take longer....plus I was so use to liquids for so long..any solids seems like a lot! I think its key to stick to solid Protein whenever possible..then veggies..slowly. Good luck...and be patient with yourslef!
