I am 10 days post op and was placed on stage 2 immediately after being discharge on day 1. I had cottage cheese (less than 1 oz) on day 3. I chewed well and took tiny bites, and it settled well. I had to burp a lot after, but no discomfort or pain. I was relieved! I've been eating Jello-O, broth, soups, and cottage cheese most days. MY doctor said I can eat anything my little pouch likes--including spicy food. So I add lime juice and hot sauce to all of my broths and soups and thankfully it settles well too.
All of that to say, I'm with Sonya on this too! FOLLOW YOUR DOCTOR'S PLAN. If you're not sure, CALL THEM, EMAIL THEM, BUG THEM...that's what they're here for. Don't be afraid, just follow the plan, communicate and explore to find out what works for YOU.

I am also 4’11 exactly. April 20 will be my 2 year Surgeversary. The day of surgery i weighed 248.9 so I was as wide as I was tall. I wore a tight size 22 pants and a 2x top. I went into surgery that day convinced I would make it the best thing I had ever done for myself and it was. I made sure I logged everything I ate and drank for 16 months. I teally think that kept me doing my best. I am no saint. There were times I veered off the path a little but I wrote it snd even though they said not to weigh myself daily I did. I still do. The scale and I are now best friends. I wear a comfortable size 4 now and a 2 when I want something a little snug. Shirts are small or xs. My lowest weight was 113 but I am at 117 pretty steady. You will love your new life. You dont say how old you are. I hope you are younger than me. I was 65 when I had wls. My only regret is that I didnt do it sooner and enjoy a thin life long ago. Good luck to you. Keep posting. Keep going through the stalls. They too shall pass with determination. Get your protein in. Drink what you can. BE HEALTHY AND ENJOY LIFE.
