WTW? I wasn't prepared for this.

Feb 20, 2018

I am at a loss.  I had my revision almost 6 weeks ago and I have been eating regular foods for a little under three weeks. I literally have to stop myself from eating after a few bites. It's crazy that I am able to eat more a one sitting now than before my revision. Before surgery I could eat 1/2 of chicken breast (palm sized) and I would be hurting. Now I can eat half and feel just fine. No excess saliva, no sensation of fullness, nothing. I must say I have been purposely trying different meats to see how my body would respond. I couldn't eat beef before, but I can now. I couldn't eat hot dogs before but I can now. I couldn't eat crackers or bread before but yep I can now. I haven't eaten these things in years and I don't plan on returning to old eating habits. I guess I just never expected these types of changes. Some of these things it took me 6 months to a year to be able to eat and some I still could not eat after almost 4 years like breads and crackers.  I will really have to stay focused more so now than before. Has anyone else who had the revision from sleeve to bypass have this happen?
