Carbonated Perrier might help :)

Paralyzed /Canadian/Mexican Sleeve

Carbonation doesn't really stretch it either. I drink a lot of Perrier myself but mostly before or in between meals. It can be really painful too soon after a meal (even waiting an hour might not be enough) and I'm not sure that will ever change. Same goes for champagne.
How far out are you? I desperately miss seltzer but am afraid as I heard it can be very uncomfortable

5 months post-op. I never had a restriction on seltzer so I believe I had my first around 3 weeks post-op. I have no issues with it on an empty stomach, but the sole time I've thrown up post-op was from drinking seltzer too soon after a meal of dense Protein. It was like an hour after I ate steak and the seltzer was super bubbly. So now I won't drink seltzer if I feel any fullness in my stomach after a meal. But in between and beforehand- totally as refreshing as ever. And a good way to get in Water and minerals.

Thanks! I'll give it a try. I really do miss it

I'm 2+ years post op, and my absolute max is a cup of food, and that only depends on what it is. Most of the time it's 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup. I know someone who is over 3 years out who's max is 1/4 cup.

If those are considered "normal" portions, then okay.

You rang?

And you're wrong! Sometimes I can eat a full 1/2 cup!

I will do my best to enjoy fabulous dinners with my friends in 2017

I do that all the time, the amount I eat is irrelevant. I'm sure you will too

I am asking - when can I have a normal intake of food?

Paralyzed /Canadian/Mexican Sleeve

At 1:35pm next Thursday. :P

Easy there Missy with that advice. Let's not rush things, they should wait until at least 1:40PM. :)

You can't. You will never be able to eat as much now as you did before. You are however able to eat whatever you want. I can't believe you had a life changing surgery if you weren't obese.

There is no way this is not someone trolling. Anyone that has had issues with weight and taken the time to research and have this type of surgery isn't as flippant about eating as the OP is. I'm sorry but this is bs!

      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!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
