Had my surgery almost 2 weeks ago. So far I'm concerned with how large my stomach appears to be. I'm on the puree portion of the diet and I feel like I can drink liquids endlessly without getting full. I also can handle about 1.5 cups of pureed soup or other foods without any issue. This is much more than I thought I would be able to eat at this point. I thought my stomach would be 4-6 ounces, but it looks like it is closer to 12.
I've also been surprisingly hungry at times. This all has me very concerned that this is not going to be as effective as I thought.
I dropped a lot of weight initially, about 15 lbs in 9 days but since I started the puree diet last Friday, I've gained back about 4 lbs. I know there is some variability with water weight, but the halt in progress the past 3 days has me concerned.
Did any of you have similar experiences? Any advice?
