help why am i not getting sick?

I had my surgery on July 19, everything went great, I'm 5'3 weigh 216 and I've lost 9lbs. currently 207. I'm on clear liquids but to get my protein I eat 1/2 cup of lowfat small curd cottage cheese. Why can I eat a 1/2 of cottage cheese in 20 minutes and not fill stuffed or sick. Have I expanded my stomach? I was told to stop after 1 or 2 bites to see if I'm full, I' not. Is soft food different than reg food. I'm so afraid this is not going to work. I had Lap RNY. Help!

Hi, I had my surgery on 7/25.. I'm also on clear liquids.. the liquids don't go down as well as soft food.. I too have been eating soft foods like, pudding and it goes down fine and stays down.. I haven't got sick at all.. I guess some people are different.. I also was able to eat chicken noodle soup of course I cut them up real good and chewed slowly and that too went down. yesterday I had grit and eggs mashed real soupy and it also went down.I stopped when I felt full which were about 4 bites, as far as the pudding 3oz. went down fine.. I don't think you have expanded your stomach at all..My doc. said if your stomach get full it will dump.. it's just some people can take more and some cant'. I had lap rny too. Just remember this.. it's not like your eating 5 cups or more.. your body is still taking in less then it use too so you should be ok.. what they told me is excercise as much as possible.. I hope this helps

I know the feeling. I ate like 5 bites of mash potatoes and didn't get full either...but then I realized I was taking sips of water too. Were you drinking when you were eating? I think it's like Marlene said...we are all just different. I was worried about this and someone else told me...being worried about the pouch being too big..is common after surgery. A lot of people go through it. So see...it's just another thing we have to go through. my best, Amy www.closertofine.net

I had my surgery on 7/20 lap RNY, I haven't gotten sick on anything either. I'm eating scrambled eggs with cheese, refried beans with cheese, yogurt, string cheese, and cottage cheese. I've never even felt the least bit sick. It's kinda funny that we worry because we're not getting sick!!
