How far post op are you? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You've all been amazing. Thank goodness I asked. Never posted on here before and I was nervous. Thank you everyone. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Okay. That does make sense. Feel happier now. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow. That's exactly how I feel. Couldn't put it better myself. That kind girls response makes me feel that it will all come right. I've done lots of reading on line today and it does suggest that it's too early for us to know for sure if it's working. I was having 5-6oz of Soup. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I wondered if anybody can help. I'm 10 days post op and on to puréed food and I never feel full. Don't get me wrong I'm not hungry and I feel satisfied but scared I'm eating too much. I'm having approximately 3/4 cup of puréed food. What are people's thoughts? Any advice? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

How are you getting on? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Yes that makes sense. Thank you that was really helpful. I need to accept and recognise what satisfied is. In the early days did you worry about 'getting it wrong' and it not working. I'm paranoid. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you so much. I seem to be tolerating more than that and not full. Think I'm panicking about it too much. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Excellent. Well done. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

You look fantastic. Well done. Can I ask when you went on to the puréed stage what was your portion size? I'm worried I'm eating to much. Thank you. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I just had my surgery on the 6th too and got home the day after. I would agree with you. No pain apart from gas. I've felt nauseated a few times. I struggle with fluids to but going to try really hard today as I woke with a very sore head and I'm sure it's dehydration. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

At least we have a common language to support each other despite the miles apart. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
