Now ive not pushed it but i spoke to my support team and they said try eat something soft make sure i chew well.
So i did eat a bit of cheese no problem.
I decided to try a normal meal so i had some lettice cucumber and a slice of think sandwich ham.
It all went down with no problems but at the end i still wasnt sure if i was full or not . but one thing im fairly sure it added up to more then 2 spoon fulls of food , for which the doctor said he was going to make the size of my pouch.
All this is making me think has the operation failed . in what way coul dit fail . could the staples come undone .
or has my doctor just stabbed me 6 times in the belly and sent me on my way wothout doing anything 
Anyway let me know what you think and ill phone up the support team aswell.
Thanks
Mark
p.s dont get me wrong ive not got the urge to go out and over eat im still sticking to a diet. |
I'm really sorry to sound like a bitch but from reading the posts and threads you have submitted in the past, it really seems like you really didn't do your homework before the surgery. I know that myself, and I'm sure just about everyone on here, knew so much about the surgery BEFORE the actual surgery that we could have been spokespeople on the subject. It wasn't just from meeting with doctors either. Its from doing the research yourself online. I know this is a place where we come to help each other, but I just cant get past the feeling that you didn't do enough research beforehand. Food HAS to go slow. Your stomach HAS to heal correctly. Thats why the doctors make you do the liquids, then the puree, then the soft foods. I'm a little over 2 weeks post op, so I feel your pain, I really do. If you keep "experimenting" like this your going to hurt yourself and not heal correctly. There is reason behind the insanity. I haven't dumped either yet, but that doesn't mean I'm going to start eating things to make myself dump. You HAVE to take it slow. I'm sorry if this seems harsh, but this was a major surgery and you have to do what they say. Its for your own good. And please please please start researching more on your own. It seems you don't know the things you should have already known ahead of time.
