Concerned About Total Food Intake

Dec 12, 2013

I am 3 weeks post op, during surgery I also had a hernia repair which was unexpected and extremely painful post op. Anyway, it has been extremely difficult to get any food down although i am just at the soft food (pureed) stage. However, suddenly last night I was finally able to get significantly more down. I could typically onmly get 3-4 teaspoons of food down but last night I was able to nearly triple that! This morning while having my routine protein shake I was able to drink 1/2 of the 11 oz. container which was impossible for me to get down a few sips prior to that. All that being said, I am actually nervous that I will not continue to lose at the rate which I have been since surgery. Did anyone else go through this overnight change? I was told that my VSG is a 40F bougie, which can only hold about 2 ounces...is it possible that it may have stretched already?
