I confess that I have advanced my post op diet from "1-3 weeks on liquids" to puree in the second week. And I am now just begining week four and I have squeezed smooth foods and soft foods into the same time period. I ate half a piece of pizza last night. I ate kettle corn "probably like 4 cups" over the past week. I ate a few bites of a grilled cheese sammich. I confess that I feel like I can fot more into my pouch than my post op book says that I should be able to. That makes me feel like something is wrong. I get so paranoid that every little ache or pain near my stomach area is because I have made it stretch and now I have a leak.

I am so surprised that I am tolerating everything I put in my mouth. Breads, sugar, etc... but on the other hand it helps my emotional state because the first few weeks, and ocassionaly to this day, I mourn over food. Sometimes I just want to eat and swallow normal. I look at other people and think "I bet they have all of their stomach and can eat normal". I've even had fantasies about having a stomach transplant so that I can feel normal again. Lol.

I am starting to feel better because I am starting to eat more normal foods just not as much. I kind a feel like everything is a waste because I cannot eat much of the serving. I feel bad because it takes me so long to chew my bite just so I can make sure it goes down. I listen for the gurgle or feel for a funnel feeling (is that normal?).

I am sure there is more but dang it I can't think of any right now.

Kinda ironic you are talking of before and after knickers. That was actually one of my turning points in deciding to have a VSG. I had bought a 3 pack of undies on vacation cause I forgot to pack em but didn't look at the size (come-on, I was on vacation) Turned out to be "granny panties". Months later, when I was very overdue to do the laundry I found myself having to wear them again... This time they fit like thongs! Holy s....t!!!!!

As long as you're taking it very carefully and are eating foods that can be pulverized orally, I wouldn't worry too much. I was chowing down on normal food at week 4 and it made me feel like a different human being. As for your fantasies - I understand that, too. I went through a proper mourning period for eating 'quantities' (ridiculous, considering it was that very thing that got me into this mess!)... As for the 'funnel' feeling? Yep, had that, too. A veritable vortex was created after having the surgery! I found it amusing. Hubble, bubble toil and trouble!

I have a not-so-dirty, but little secret to announce. Emphasis on the 'little'. That as of today, I'm officially in smaller under-crackers! Yippppppppppppeeeee! In preparation for having a smaller butt, I bought a selection of day-to-day ladies undergarments in sizes 16 and 14. I went for a size 16 and put on a size 14 by accident AND they fit. Cue running around the room, shaking her smaller butt in the said smaller under-crackers. T'wit, t'woooooo! <I see you baby... shakin' that (considerably smaller) ass>

Congrats! Under-crackers is a new term to me. But whatever they are, I bet you look great in them!

Hehe, they're knickers! And thank you.

I wouldn't say I look 'great', but it did result in my man chasing me around the room pinching my ever-decreasing-backside

ooh! That does sound fun! I love to catch mine ogling my smaller attributes.

Well, mines ogling results in my being late! Not that I'm complaining, you understand :wub:
