Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 Hi all....I'm back home and feeling great....for my first week post-op. Everything went well with no complications. I have been eating a lot more normal than I thought...I have had oatmeal, deviled crab, pot pie...and lot more.....lol. I have a few questions that maybe other post-ops can help me out with.... 1. I have not been eating a lot of fat but when I go, it is like an oil slick.....SORRY!! I know it's gross to post, but I'm sure a lot of you had that experience..... ;-) Any helpful ideas?? 2. My surgeon told me that my new tummy is 4oz....and will NEVER stretch to hold more??? That's not what I've been reading? Hearing that has really made me depressed...do you find that you can eat more than half a cup at a time? 3. He also said that there is a risk of leaking if I eat too much within the first 6 weeks...this has me scared and only eating bitefuls at at time.....am I worrying too much?? 4. I don't have a feeling of full or hungry...wondering how long this lasts for?...How long does it take for the stomach to empty itself?? I would like to thank everyone for their support and caring for when I was in the hospital....especially my wonderful angel ... :-) It seems like I knew a lot before going into this but I feel like I am weighed down with so many questions so I hope some of you post-ops can help.....Love to you all!! BTW........I'm down 15 lbs in 1 week!!!!!!! Bobbi-jo 4-30-01 307 292 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
