Sleevarilla

I was not allowed pudding on full liquids. I didn't try anything of that consistency until a couple weeks post op. Just because something is allowed on your plan doesn't mean your sleeve is ready for it. Someone once said, and it's so very true, "Sleeves can't read the paperwork." That also doesn't mean that in a week you'll have problems with pudding. I would put it back on the shelf, back up to only liquids for a few days, and then try again. With you being only a few days post-op, your main focus is fluids. Then Protein. And, managing your pain. That's all you have to worry about right now.

Just wait until the pot heads get to fatty status from all the munchies. Then there will be change.
I'm not apologizing if that offended anyone. Get over it. It's a joke.

36fr.
The size difference between a 32fr and a 40fr is negligible. There is a picture guide around, if you care to google (use bougie size as your keyword). Mine, according to that chart, is roughly the size of a sharpie (without the lid)

Amazon sells variety packs of them. I haven't tried one I don't like yet - love them all!

Aww.. I haven't gotten to copy/past my copy/paste in a while!! Thanks for the opportunity!!
I'll just copy/paste the copy/paste I did less than a week ago:
I'll just copy/paste the answer I gave to someone else less than a week ago who asked the same thing:
A search will show you dozens ... and dozens ... of threads about the stall that happens around week 2-3 post-op. Your body just had major surgery. Give it a break and relax and get well. Put the scale away and don't bring it out again for a couple of weeks. Be good to yourself, let yourself heal. Stalls happen all the time, this isn't a sprint it's a marathon.

THANK YOU for the perfect suggestion. I packing it up now and will pull it out again in at the month mark. Thanks again ☺

Everyone gains in the hospital. As hard as it is, I would put your new scale away for a few weeks. After gaining in the hospital, you have the normal stall at week 2-3 post-op. You may gain again during the stall. Just relax and heal for the first few weeks because your body is going to be adjusting itself to all the trauma it's been put through.

First thing ... be prepared for the normal stall at week 2-3 post-op.
Are you on soft or pureed? I advanced to pureed at week 3

No. It just doesn't work that way. Weight loss with surgery is almost never a steady downhill slope. It's more of stair steps ... lose, stall ... lose, stall, gain a pound ... lose, stall.

You are also in the prime period for a stall soon, So don't be surprised or discouraged when it happens. Just keep doing what you're doing and it will pass

Also, at my 2 week post-op visit, I mentioned to my surgeon that I was having some issues with acid. He explained that is very common, that my stomach is probably still producing enough acid for a bigger stomach and it just takes time to balance everything out. I will say that it's gotten much better! Hang in there, it really does all get better.

All of the nerves were sliced through when they removed your stomach. You will never have the same full feeling again. As you progress to soft foods, you will determine what your new normal is. Right now, on liquids or pureed, you won't have a full feeling at all. Foods/drinks of that consistency just slip right on through. Once you move up to soft foods, you'll quickly feel that restriction.
The gurgling could be acid. Are you on a PPI? Also, tiny tummies have a lot to say ... they rumble, grumble, squeak and chatter. I think it's kind of endearing, lol.
