I am on my second week post-op. I can only eat just a few spoonfuls of Soup (pureed of course) and that's all I want. It is a very weird feeling! I am just wondering for those of you that are "veterans" on here:

Can you eventually eat a sandwhich? Hamburger? You know reglar things that will be around you all the time? Not that I want any of that at this point. I'm just wondering for years down the road.

Also, I gained a pound on the first day of liquid soup day??? :svengo: I only ate a few spoonfuls....whats that about? I got all of my Water in also.

Still hating Protein drinks...don't think that will change anytime soon though! lol

Thanks!!

I can only eat 1 slice of crustless bread at 13 months out. I can eat about 1/4 of a soft taco size tortilla. I can eat 1 slider burger from Chili's. So, carbs aren't gone forever.

With every passing month, you will be able to consume more food. Right now, it doesn't seem feasible, right? But, believe me, you'll find that your sleeve will relax, and you'll be able to eat more food in 6 months out than you can currently. I can eat twice as much as I could at 2-3 months out, and that's not out of the ordinary from what I've read from others that are further out.

It's just Water weight, don't fret. You'll lose it. Right now everything is going to fluctuate. Just stay the course, and you'll do great.

Thanks! That's encouraging ; )
