2 Weeks After Surgery
I've had my surgery approximately 2 weeks ago. From what the people at the hospital told me, my stomach is tiny at this point. I've been drinking Premier Protein drinks in the morning on the all liquid diet. However I can comfortably drink about half the Premier Protein drink before I'm full. Is this normal? It seems like I shouldn't be able to drink that much at one time. I'm nervous about that.
I've always had a "bigger" capacity since surgery - likely due to the reduced swelling someone else mentioned. I just make sure to take extra time drinking, even 8-9 months out. It's just all the more important to measure and not eat and drink to fullness for me.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!
