9 day out!

Days out and I feel my stomach can handle so much more!!! I don't necessarily need to sip so many small sips!!! And I can eat 2 2 ounce meals a day with finishing a applesauce! Has anyone else had and experience with this?

I'm on day 10 here and the last day or two I've found that I can actually take a good mouthful of liquid now. I still remind myself to take it slow when drinking the high Protein shakes etc... as they can sit pretty heavy in the stomach. I'm still on full liquids for 3 more weeks until I meet with my surgeon again on Jan 14th then he'll move me on to the mushee/puree stage, and then no solids for an additional 4 weeks after that! I'm glad you are doing so well too!

Call your doc and see if he will allow to eat puréed food like Tuna with fat fee mayo Greek yogurt!! It's such a small amount of food the liquids are heavier I'm gonna upload you a pic!! I'm sorry your going through this!! I go back to the doc jan 8th and if everything looks good I can start solids I'm nervous!! But I have been including 1 meal a day for the past two days and it's been great!!!

Also try making a hearty Protein shake

2 scoops of protein

4 ounce Water

4 ounce silk milk

Little less than a half of banana

And frozen peaches mangoes

That's about 40 grams

Question what did u get stapled!!! I don't have staples so maybe things are different

I didn't have any outter staples either just steri-strips. I'm 5 weeks out and can't still eat much. I'm on soft food phase and usually only eat 2 meals which consists of around 6 bites (and I'm stuffed) then I usually do a snack once a day and a morning protein shake. Not eating much or drinking much at all but what I do have fills me up. I guess I'll take it because im down 33lbs since surgery and 48 since beginning of my journey.

if you had your stomach cut, you must have staples? Did you have the sleeve?
