I am pre-op and just starting the whole process. My question has to do with the sensation of eating post-op. Does eating actually feel different? Can you sense the presence of something foreign in your body - aside from the full feeling?

Hi,

It's a process. You prepare your body pre-surgery by drinking liquids which is very hard to do but not impossible. I did it..trust me! Anyway, after surgery you don't want to eat anything, I mean anything. Water is tough to drink. Ice-pops were my friend.

17 days out and I feel great-don't feel like there is a foreign anything in my body. I do feel a sensation of fullness when I eat and if I eat fast or don't chew well, things get "stuck" and it's very uncomfortable but overall it's really not bad at all but you have to follow doctor's orders to a "t".

Good luck to you.
