10 days post op - not feeling restriction



Recommended Posts

So my paperwork said to spend 10 days in clears, 10 days in full liquids, then 10 days mushy BUT you could move up the next phase earlier if you don't have any nausea or issues - but no solids till 1 month no matter what. So my stomach feels great - have had no nausea whatsoever. So I spent 6 days in clears, then 3 in full, and now am in mushy/soft. But I am not feeling full EVER. I am not feeling hungry, so that is good, but I am worried I am overdoing the food since I am not feeling restriction. Don't want to stretch this sucker out or put stress on the stitches. In the last 90 minutes, I had a cup of Soup, a pudding cup, and an applesauce cup. Does that seem like too much?

Until you are on "solids" you might not feel full. Remember, liquids are pushed through pretty quickly.

As to the amounts, if you can eat it and it satisfies, I think you are fine. I'd suggest eating and then no snacking till the next mealtime (between is Water time)...

That is normal. Like Arts as aid, the restriction is not really felt until your stomach heals a bit more and you begging eating solids. I started feeling my restriction around 6 weeks out.

      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!!
