WELCOME to the Forum!!!

My hint to you is once you are allowed to eat food, be sure to eat very slowly and chew, chew and chew your food.

Your new stomach pouch now holds about 2 ounces. Don't over stretch it out or you will be eating too much. It will naturally expand over time to hold about 1/2 cup (4 oz) but it will take about a year to expand.

Eat enough protein, it helps you feel full and satisfied and healthy. Protein will also help hair loss which is common after bariatric surgery. Never miss taking your vitamins and supplements. Drink enough liquids or you will become dehydrated.

Good luck to you, keep us posted on your progress.
