62 years old and surgery was done on Monday, January 7. I feel pretty good, sore and exhausted and realize that will take some time. I’ve lost 4 lbs but I don’t feel any restriction at all! Is this normal? Seeing my doctor next Thursday. Anyone else have little to know restriction?

I had my surgery on December 26th, and I didn't really feel restriction either. At least, not at first. I've moved on to pureed, which includes scrambled eggs. And it was the scrambled eggs that really got me feeling the restriction.

In other words, give it time. You may not feel the restriction with liquids, but as you progress with the diet you will feel it.

Liquids go right through you. Once you are able to eat solid food like chicken take it slow or you will be hurting!
