Trust me me and a lot of others felt the same way I'm 3.5 weeks out now and the first real food was pork tenderloin and up until then I questioned if they even did anything to me other than put holes. But a bite and a half of tenderloin and

I was done liquids and mushys don't do it but solids will show you.

I didn't feel the full effect until I started eating solid foods. Even now I can eat more squishy soft foods and don't feel much restriction... But when I eat solid I do. 6 months out today

I was sleeved Oct 1 and I have been on soft foods for a week. On the first day, the first thing I ate was some scrambled eggs. I took two bites and was immediately turned off. I didnt know what was going on, but now as I begin to eat more foods, I have learned that this feeling is a feeling of fullness. It wasnt until today that I actually felt that feeling of fullness. Like I just had a full meal. I had one salmon croquett, approx 2oz. and a quater cup of canned pineapple. Its going to take time for the swelling to go down and for your stomach to be able to handle the 3 to 4 oz of food later on... The sounds coming from your stomach is mostly air, making you gurgle...think of a garbage disposal. It takes a while for food to go down, you have to turn it on in order to work...

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
