Hello -

I am having surgery on 6/19/06. Just made my appt yesterday!

Hi, I had my surgery 6/12. The experience was wonderful. The hotel, the obesity center, the staff, are all great. I did not have any nausea or any side effects other than a little gas. I was up and ready to go site seeing on Wed 6/14. I felt fine on Tues 6/13,m the day after surgery, but I was tired, so I stayed in the hotel room and slept. I would do the surgery again in a heartbeat. Good luck. let me know how it goes. I am eating pudding, ice cream and slim fast-5 days after surgery. Do you think this is ok? I am wondering if I am doing something wrong to my pouch? But I am hungry and the nutristionist told me on day 2 post op that I could add yogort twice daily since my BMI was less and I probably did not have as much swelling. Any body have any thoughts on this????

Hi - I just had my surgery Thursday morning and this afternoon I was able to have albondigas soup if I mashed the meatballs into mush. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? How do you know when you are feeling mental hunger versus actual hunger. I have spent so long just eating because that now I am worried I will continue that bad pattern. Is this normal?

Hi, I had my surgery on the 12th. I had no nausea and was able to immediately drink a half of glass of tea with no regrets. I know that you are supposed to have clear liquids for a week, then full liquids the following week, but I have been able to eat ice cream, puddings. Tonight I ate a piece of pork and corn on the cob because I did not want the people I was with to know my secret. Are we going to expand the pouch to much by eating to soon?
