I have been reading all the stories about people having all this restriction right after the VSG surgery and I'm worried that I don't identify with that. I had surgery on 12/20/16 and have been able to drink more than 2ozs. of liquid at a time. I have never had to sip because everything I have not felt restriction or pain. I feel guilty because I have felt amazing since my surgery. The only thing I have felt restriction with is cream of wheat. I can eat about 1/2 packet made with 1 cup of unsweetened unflavored almond milk. I think I am between 400-550 calories a day and at least 40 grams of Protein. I'm 8 days post op and at my check up today I lost 2 lbs. I know it's not a lot but it is a loss.
Anyway, has anyone felt this way? Should I be worried? In full disclosure, there was an issue with the portion of my stomach they removed but overall it will be fine going forward.
What should I be feeling at this point? Will it be different when I go on solid foods in the future?
Thanks in advance for any answers or help anyone has to offer.
