Pretty good it can be hard to get the total amount in but I push through because I know it's important but makes me feel so full sometimes

so its not like a funnel? since there is no pyloric valve i figured it would be like a funnel and the liquid would past thru quickly. But you feel it in your stomach?

Well i mean, your only a clear liquid diet right now, so i was wondering if the liquids your drink just funnel thru your new pouch or they stay in the pouch for a bit.

I feel like they stay but that could be because I have to drink two half ounce things every 15 minutes and it feels like a lot but that's what I thought as well I feel stuffed some times. It's nice cause I have not had any cravings for regular food yet. I can drink Water broth Jello actually Protein shakes things like that Protein shake is what makes me feel most full

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
