I had surgery outside the US. I have the video of the entire surgery, but no surgical report.

I had to request mine. He may use different terms for it, but It's good to know the stats about your new anatomy.

If you can get the soft food down and that is in your plan. I would follow it.But I meant slow down drinking your water.I used to be able to drin**** cold drinks but now I can't it hurts my tummy.It is amazing how our bodies change.I thought after my surgeon went in there he didn't do anything.I felt normal except not being hungry.It was a weird feeling.

That's almost exactly how I feel! Except I do get hungry when my stomach is very empty, like first thing in the morning. It's how hunger felt to me as a child. I can honestly say I haven't felt that kind of hunger as an adult until surgery. That's what's weird to me. Otherwise, it really does feel like my surgeon didn't do anything! I know he did though because I can take now 3 gulps of water when before surgery I could take 10.  I don't actually take big gulps, but it's weird to me that I can while most others at this stage are still working on sips. At any rate, I felt so good after surgery that I do believe I've progressed too fast and it can't hurt to back up to soups and liquids for a few days then progressing to soft foods, then puréed foods for a few weeks. I have a tendency to jump into things with both feet, but in this case, it's smarter to take it slow.
