How much did it weigh? That's what I've been going on. I don't go over 4 ounces right now but I am really early in. I stay around 2 or 3 ounces typically.

I don't have a food scale yet so no idea. Guess that needs put on the pay day shopping list.

I got my digital scale on Amazon for 10 dollars. They are pretty cheap. It is easier for me to weigh stuff than have to dirty up measuring spoons and cups.

I was also able to eat a whole 5.6 oz yogurt which freaked me out. Everyone said "Three bites and you'll be full." Nope.

^^ the yogurt and the egg/ham were too different meals. I failed to make that clear. lol

Yogurt is semi liquid. It doesn't fill you up as much as things like chicken.

Thanks! So far so good. I'm kind of sad that I had that interview for the promotion on Monday because I would have stayed home longer, but I know deep down that I was feeling good enough to come back anyway. Lol I just miss being home.

Hey all. I think I overdid it yesterday. Was feeling pretty normal so I was up and about all day long. Well, around 7 pm my stomach was really hurting. I couldn't really get my Protein Shake down. Just felt kinda miserable. So I took some pain meds and gasx and went to bed. We really have to listen to our bodies, and not push ourselves to the point where we are hurting ourselves. So my hubby fussed at me a little...I'm pretty sure I'll be taking it easy today.

It is true we have to listen to our bodies. (Yawn!) I just woke up from a lovely nap! Don't push too much.

I haven't had any trouble drinking 4-5 ounces at a time. Well today I tried a 9 ounce drink - hot Water and Unjury chicken Soup. Went down with no problem but now two hours later I'm miserable. No vomiting, but just uncomfortably bloated. I guess I pushed the pouch too far. Lesson learned. :-(

I drink like a normal person and forget to consider the pouch. And it hurts til it comes out.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
