Third day post op starts the full liquid dite. I was able to drink a bup and a half of chicken broth, one sugarfree pudding diluted with skim milk and tow seperate servings of cottage cheese. On serving was about 1/3 cup and the second was half a cup. No pain. I hope my stomack doesnt allow much more food anytime soon!

Sorry for the horrid spelling, my phone was being glitchy. I was surprised how much i could eat today, which i think is a healthy amount but considering my stomach is only going to get "better" as it heals I'm concerned that I'm not really going to get the bang for my buck on this surgery. Maybe the doctor decided not to make my stomach very small. Any thoughts?

Don't worry. It will be fine. Consider how much you ate before and how much you ate now. Your new stomach will adjust. Keep us posted.

Don't worry.....,You are still numb for one. For two, you won't feel as much restriction with liquids. When u get to solids, you will find that you will eat much much less.

Never felt any restrictions on liquids...solids a complete different story...my idea of pigging out at 18 months is 3 slices of pizza...could eat a whole damn large by myself before surgery

Thank you all! That makes a lot of sense that solids will be more filling.

I had the same concern on liquids. Asked at my two-week follow-up last week if I could expect more restriction on purees, then even more on mushies, then solid foods...she confirmed. And now that I've been on purees for a few days, I can confirm too!
