Eating normal as in pre surgery normal

Carbonated Perrier might help

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

At 1:35pm next Thursday.

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

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

Is this even real life?

I totally understand loving food and drink and the socialization aspects, but I'm really surprised you were approved for surgery with those plans.

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!
