Early Sept. post ops...

I am 9 days post op. Today's dr. visit showed I lost 15 lbs YAAAAAAAY! But as of yesterday and today, I am battling my apetite more and feeling like I am getting in endless amount of liquids, I can drink 6 oz without a problem and then have a bit of jello afterwards too... (I'm still on clear liquids) What's up with this? Does this seem like alot to you guys? Now mind you, a few days ago I couldn't do more than a quarter cup or so at a time, so I guess my swelling is coming down. But I'm scared I'll be the one in one thousand who ends up being able to eat like before... or sabotage my little pouch into holding more than it should.

I think your a little early to be worrying. I had surgery 7 days ago and I can tolerate liquids and some sugar free pudding just an hour later. My Doctor thinks that is fine. Check with your Doctor and see what they think. Good luck.

I am the same way. Nothing seems to bother me except when I take my first sip of anything. I get an instant tummy ache. Then it goes away and I start to feel better. Anyone try a scrambled egg yet? I was going to try one tomorrow morning but I am not sure yet. Shannon

I did scramble egg yesturday with some salsa Not the chunky kind of salsa I just dipped it for the taste and mashed it really really well in my mouth. Also tried a dime size 2 bites of peanut butter and that was ok too. I have 7 days post op today admit 280. discharge 306. 7 days post op 277.

Hi, I am 7 days post op at my check up today I am down 17.5 lbs, can you say excited!!! I am able to get in a lot of liquids too my Dr was surprised he said I am either really good at sipping or my stoma is a little bigger so it runs through faster. I don't guess that was what I really wanted to hear this early on but 17 lbs in 7 days sounds like my pouch is working just fine hehe
