How long???

Congratulations!! As soon as I get it, I will send it on. Let us know how you do : )

i was on full liquids for 3 weeks....now let me start by saying that this is not a punishment i know for me my surgeon told me that it was a healing stage.... just keep in mind this is not forever and you want to make sure that you are fully healed before you actually put anything solid into your delicate new pouch.... you dont want to bust any staples....in time believe me when i tell you you will get the correct amount of protien in ... you will be able to regulate and be able to tell when your at that point ....just be patient i swear this is the hardest part of surgery but worth it .... my biggest advice i can give anyone is follow what your doc tells you to the letter and you will have great results.... i have been maintaining for over 2 yrs now and at goal!!!!!. i hope this helps use this board for what ever you need we are all here for you and wish you all the success you are seeking!!!!!

Thank you so much. You made me feel a bit better about it. I guess I did feel like I was being punished for some reason. I will stop complaining and just be thankful the Dr cares enough to be extra careful.

just so you know when i was going thru that 3 week period i was invited to 5 bbq's a baby naming and a bridal shower..... so it can be done just drink tomatoe juice and broth and savor it if you need to chew spit it out whatever it is and the sensation will go away ..... ive heard too many horror storys of strictures for not waiting long enough Stacy
