1 week post op and can eat and drink everything

This behavior is not normal. The surgery very likely is as good as that any of us have, but you aren't going to fix what is wrong with the surgery. You need to stop eating ANYTHING right now. Concentrate ONLY on liquids. Call your surgeon, and tell him or her exactly how you are accidentally getting 1600 calories into your body right now. I would also suggest some mental health counseling.

This surgery is not magic. It is a tool to help you out, and part of that help is by following the rules rigidly at the beginning. This soon out there really isn't any excuse for not doing what you are supposed to be doing. I had a pet emergency yesterday too, and I still had my liquids down (though I was dancing the "I gotta pee" dance by the time the vet saw my kitty).

You need a complete reset, or you could destroy your surgery, your digestive system, and even your life. You've just had major surgery, and you could come unstuck and DIE. This is not normal behavior, and you need to stop it now. NOW. NOT when you get around to it tomorrow, or next week.

On a lighter note, I never had any issues with liquids, though lots of people do have problems... that you have no issues getting them down and still AREN'T is a real red flag.... that means that there is something going on mentally that is urging you to flagrantly ignore the rules that are necessary to follow for this surgery to be a success. You NEED HELP

I didn't feel full for a few days after my surgery, but I didn't feel hungry either. I didn't realize that my nerve endings were healing and the fact I wasn't in severe pain from drinking too much too fast didn't mean I should push the limit. You really have to follow your nutritionist's advice and eat and drink what they say, especially your protein drinks. You will get very sick otherwise. It's hard because you had an emergency this week but you must take care of yourself. It's not optional after having this surgery or you will likely wind up back in the hospital with dehydration at the very least. It's not too late to change, you probably did not stretch out your pouch yet, but you could pop some stiches and do some serious damage to your new stomach. Please take care of yourself and measure your intake of everything and follow your doc's advice! Good luck and I hope things settle down for you.

Well, it's wonderful that you are not having trouble drinking and don't have diarrhea anymore!  But why are you attempting to eat two cups at a time?  How much does your doc's meal plan say you should eat?  Why aren't you following your plan?

Your nerves are cut....YOU WON'T FEEL ANY RESTRICTION ...that is why you have to measure your food.  You need to call your nutritionist and get some kind of written schedule with times and quantities ...it is easier to follow post of if it is written down.  I feel for you but you need to stop....call and get guidance. 

I am really questioning your surgeon at this point. Not only did he do surgery on someone who is clearly not at all ready for it, but I see on your profile that you smoke and were smoking the DAY BEFORE YOUR SURGERY!!!!!!  What was he thinking? You will never heal eating like you are and smoking.

2 cups of food? WHAT? Wait... is this real?

I am 8 days out and if I drink too quickly, it immediately comes back up.

I think you need to talk to your surgical team. And a therapist. Stat.

 18 months out and i'm pretty sure the only thing i can eat 2 cups of is soup and even that is iffy considering if i have 10 oz of it i feel kinda icky

 I had my surgery on Feb 6th and I cant even get in 500 Calories. 1600 in a day is so much. I cant handle most food yet. 

ok, lets not pounce.  Call you surgeons office tomorrow and tell what is going on.  Go back to fluids and shakes for now...you should only be on them anyway. No barley or soda..shakes and water. 

 Thank you, Chili!

The first thing I thought when I read that was maybe she needs a barium swallow or something. Anatomically I just don't see how it is possible to overeat so much so soon after surgery unless something isn't right. Perhaps her surgeon gave her a big pouch? I dunno. But to me, yes, the first step is the surgeon.

And we could all stand to be a bit more constructive from what I see here. Yes, there are probably behavior issues but in the beginning we ALL sorta lean on the physicality of the surgery to help us modify our behavior. Isn't that the whole point?
