I'm almost 4 months in since surgery and I kind of freaked myself out today. While in Soft food stage, I was in encourage (by doctors) to eat 2 eggs....I was never able to..not even after solid food...I would feel stuff after just eating ...but this morning, without realizing I ate both eggs....is my stomach getting bigger??

No, the swelling has just gone down. You're fine!

Your question is not silly! (I've cornered that market. ).

Seriously, if something picks at your brain, makes you anxious, or causes you any distress and it's because you are unsure about something... how can that be silly? Ask away. There will almost always be someone else who will benefit from your question and the comments that follow.

We have essentially the same surgery date (me only two days before you). Those eggs did nothing wrong. You did nothing wrong. You were able to consume an excellent protein source and keep it down. I remember when even one egg was a challenge. It still is, to some extent, but I just carry on with what my body is telling me. I'm actually grateful that my body is able to take in a bit more as time passes. Three spoonfuls of food just didn't seem like a meal. And it hurt after. Now, I can eat what looks like a normal-ish portion and it sits nicely in my pouch. The biggest no-no for me has been forgetting about drinking milk or water during a meal. That ruins the meal. And how can a meal feel satisfying when pain follows? Sometimes it takes repeated failures to learn a lesson. Soup, oddly, doesn't seem to have the same effect, even when it's "thick" soup with lots of ingredients. I haven't figured out that one.

Thank you very much!! I haven't tried soup yet...been a bit afraid of that lol did you doctor told you to drink with meals? Mine has me stop drinking 30 mins before a meal and start drinking 30 mins after a meal.

And you are right about enjoying a meal and feeling pain...its such a terrible feeling...in public I just deal with it but at home I have let put a scream or two lol
