I seem to recall the weight mgmt team stating that post-op I would only be able to consume the equivalent of two ice cubes in one sitting but I can eat quite a bit more than that. Yesterday I went out to eat with my daughter to a mexican restaurant. I ordered a quesadilla which is pretty darn big at this restaurant and though it took me all day (literally) to eat it, I was able to eat it.
Prior to surgery that would have been one meal of many in a day, lol, so I don't intend this by any means to be a whine. Just sharing as I've noticed that there are an array of post-op experiences. Some struggle, some don't. Some get sick, some don't. Some experience A LOT of pain (me, me, me), some don't. Some drop weight like butter on a hot summer day, some slowly lose but indeed lose their weight. Some can't eat more than the equivalent of a couple ice cubes, some can eat chips, salsa and a fair amount of a quesadilla,....... not that there's anything right with that. hehe
I'm one who is slowly losing but very happy with that. I mean it... I'm not just saying that to compensate. I'm really happy with my results.
