Caran,

Glad you're feeling great and have lost 20 lbs already..way to go!!

Every doctor has a different "protocol" for introducing new foods. Mine required soft foods for about 6 weeks post-op to allow the pouch to heal with little or no swellng. But others have been allowed a regular diet pretty much post-op. I also did NOT have any pre-op diet to follow, except for the day before surgery.

And I understand the hunger issues...right now it could be head-hunger that you're experiencing...but it's hard to tell the difference sometimes.

Good luck on your continued great success!!

Cathy
