Hi, I may not be a lot of help.  My surgery is tomorrow.  They told me that I would et 2oz 5-6 times a day for the next year.  It is my job to make sure I don't eat more.  I know from the boards that you don't always have a sensation of fullness this early out or ever in some cases.  I would be extremey careful with eating such large amounts because you could hurt yourself.  I wish you the best on your success.

I thought I was only going to have room for 1 oz. I can eat an 8 oz. yogurt and it doesn't hurt. I ate 2 oz. turkey, 1 oz. mashed potatoes and 1 oz. squash for dinner last night. No pain. I never felt hungry nor full before surgery and I still feel the same now.

While I was in the hospital, I ate one popsicle and that KILLED my stomach!!! But, they said my new stomach was swolen and I probably ate it too fast. I also wonder if it was sugar free. I was in pain for 12 hours!

I don't have any problems with any foods so far except cold foods and beverages...they have to be room temp.

Anyway, I just wondered what other people are experiencing 2.5 weeks out from your surgery. I thought I'd have much less room. I don't eat a ton, but 8 oz. yogurt??? I expected to be done half way thru if not sooner?!?!

What and how much are you eating?

I am with all you girls!!! I am nervous and excited all at the same time. We will all do great! I agree that we should start a 28er's group!!!  I would love to hear how everyone is progressing and we can be a huge support for each other!  Let's do this!!

Jennifer!

HOw did it go! And Welcome to the Loser's bench!

My husband is going to have gastric bypass on tuesday
I am getting nervous and my 9 year old daughter is getting very upset with us being away for almost 2 weeks, so that is not helping

We live in Ontario, canada and are having it done by Dr O'malley in Rochester

Any things I need to make sure I pack for the trip away?
and an ideas on making this easier for my daughter?

Thanks
sarah
