I had my surgery 8 days ago and had been on a liquid diet since. Today I had a follow up with my surgeon and nut. Nut asked if I was having any problems with the Protein and I said no between Protein shakes and oikos triple 0 i was getting a good amount. She said eating a hole oikos triple 0 was over 2x the amount i should be eating at once. She moved me to soft foods and said keep it to 1/4 a cup per (2oz) meal and drink a shake for a snack.

Kind of worried when I read people 2-3 weeks out of surgery saying they have a hard time getting 2oz in and its easy for me.

Is it possible to stretch you sleeve that quick?

Thanks

Your swelling is probably going down sooner. Overall the idea is to stop eating before we are full. That may be why your nut changed things up for you. Just guessing.

Yogurt is a liquid, so it isn't really going to cause restriction. Some people heal faster than others. be happy and grateful, it means you can meet your protein goals easier.

Also I'm on soft food diet now and get hungry with in a few hours of eating my 2oz

I just had my 2 week follow up last week and had basically the same issue. I felt as though I could intake more than I should be able to. But they said it was fine, some people's sleeve heals faster amd can tolerate more than others. They also said it would take a lot and be difficult to stretch the sleeve at this stage.

I also get hungry more often, too. I just make sure to get a morning and late afternoon Protein shake in to help curb the hunger.

Omg yes me too! I had soft chicken the other day and I felt I could eat more chicken then I should be able to. It's only been 17 days since my surgery.

I've read on here it happens bc the nerves are not healed in your stomach yet. Search "no feeling of fullness" or something like that and the explanations should come up. I wish they covered this in classes before the surgery!

I feel full after 3 bites then 45 min later I could eat.

I'm 9 days post op and not eating enough I know. I have no desire for food. I've now set myself a reminder to have my shakes now. I hope that helps.

I'm three weeks out. I definitely get hungry. I struggle with eating too fast because I'm hungry! I went from liquids to foods. Just chew real well and take small bites. No problems really
