Its quite interesting we have all had the same operation but we have different diet timeframes and some of us had staples instead of glue, but I guess we have all ended up with the same result. Do you guys know what size your stomach pounch was shaped to. Mine is a 36cu, I think 50, 40 and 32 are some of the other sizes that can be used.

Oh I don't know about the size of my new stomach I'm going to email my surgeon I can eat more than I think I should I can easily eat an entire yogurt tub and a whole scrambled egg easily the other night I had an entire yogurt and a med size banana I was mortified I'd eaten it all and quite sick feeling but when I watched a NZ show the other night on people getting the surgery they could only eat one ice cube size of defrosted food at a time I don't feel restriction

I find I can eat more some days then others and I dont know why and then other days I can hardly get a few mouthfuls in. A brother of mine back in NZ has mentioned that program called the 'big ward' if it's the same one. I wish I could have seen it b4 the op. Although I have no regrets and still believe that this will be one of the best things I have ever done. I bet if you put on a plate what you used to eat next to what you are eating now you would be amazed.

I think it depends on what you eat? Yoghurt and liquid foods eg Soup you'd be able to have more. I had a piece of grilled cheese & Tomato on toast today & yesterday & day before. 1st day could eat the whole thing, yesterday I ate 3/4 & felt full today I ate 3/4 and threw up afterwards.

Kiwijet yes the big ward my surgeon is the surgeon on that show however when I first saw him in December I had no idea of the show I found out in February we he popped onto my tv screen he does private and public like a lot of surgeons the big ward was based around public hospital patients and has just finished and was great in terms of seeing snippets of the actual surgery he's amazing it's like 9.35 at night here I emailed him earlier at 7.30 he emailed me back with those answers regarding my stomach size he's so approachable and real. So what does a 36 look like Kiwijet do you know? Yes so true I can only eat a tiny fraction of what I useto eat I had huge portions

Dont know what a 36 looks like but my surgeon reckons its the best size. Too many problems with the 32 and I respect his opinion as hes one off if not the most experienced surgeons in Melbourne with almost 700 operations.

Trips going great but its hard to try different food when you are by yourself as I cant finish anything. The funny thing is I used to finish my partners plate and now we just share one. I overjudged my dinner tonight which left me with some discomfort and I had to throw up abit of it. I think I need to count how many bites I can have and then start counting them.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
