Definitely jealous - I can't do any breads for another 4 weeks according to my dietician's plan....

I was a bit nervous about it but it was nice that it went well. I also did whole wheat toast today and it was fine. I haven't had any problems with getting food in yet. I'm 5 weeks out of surgery right now and my doctor said that basically I can eat back to normal at 6 weeks. Yay! Lol

I don't think I am able to recognize full by feeling yet. I guess maybe thst takes some time to establish?

It was 6 weeks before I had any sensation of full, 4 months before it was a real full sensation.

I am 4 weeks post op and I don't really get that full feeling either. I usually just eat 4 oz and stop because I am afraid to get sick.

So I had my surgery on August 6 on that day I weighed 302 lbs as of today 5 weeks later (or is it 6... Hmmm ) I weigh 276... Weight loss kinda slow but not getting my Protein in like I should... But on a positive note for a NSV I started in a size 24/26 and today I put on a pair of 20s and they fit perfect! I put a 22 on the other day but wanted to see if I could fit in to any smaller sizes and a size 20 fit great! Anyone else with any NSV!

My surgery was the 6th as well. I haven't lost anything in a week. But the other day I was taking my 5 yr old to school and she said "mommy your legs are so skinny". Made me feel good!

So it turns out that I do get the full feeling lol. Apparently I was about 4 bites away. And it was very uncomfortable for about an hour. Much better to simply measure and stick with that. Guessing was not fun.
