About time I do an update on here! Tomorrow I’ll be three weeks post op and so far I’ll say some things are exactly how I thought they’d be and others not at all.
Food wise I’m not hungry but I don’t feel full after eating either. Like there’s zero sensation either way, and I don’t mind it but it means I’m still 100% dependent on the exact measurements of portions from my dietician to not eat too much or too little. I’m very careful about what I eat and I’m hesitant to try new things so I’m basically living off Protein Shakes and yoghurt. I’m sure it will get better, just need to be more comfortable with my new stomach first( I can’t wait to eat meat again omggg!)
Physically I’m feeling good but I’m bummed I still can’t sleep on my stomach! It’s the only physical limitation I have now, except being tired more easily of course! So far I’m down 49lbs in total, 23lbs pre op and 26lbs post op.
