Restriction working.....appetite not so much ;-)

[tpt]

Ok - so I have tried to eat today and nothing...my gob / head just is not having it. No appetite = not going to happen (regurgiate or can't swallow). So Hubby (in rare episode of being supportive) went to our local farmers market (we are very rural) and brought home fresh local Cauli, broccoli & carrots, pots & home-made by farmers wife fresh prime steak pie. Yummy!! Fired up the range, cooked it all up and dished myself about a half of what hubby had (prob about a tea-plate) and while I could not exactly salivate - my god I fancied it!

Got about a third down before I got the signal to stop. I wanted to eat it all, believe me, it smelt good, looked great and I wanted it but my pouch said "that's enought thanks" and I knew from previous experience that even another forkfull and I would have had the sharp pains.

That's that then.....I can officially be confident that my pouch is working.......

So that's five weeks post op and I get it - what is the average time-span for you folks beit banders or bypassers?

for me it was drinking too much soup in week 2 - the soup was so scrummy that I didnt want to stop - felt sick for about an hour!

I'm still trying to figure it out just over two weeks post op. I have a real fear of being sick so not sure if i am full as i tend to stop but then again i'm only on puree/mashed stage so appreciate that it's early days x
ps love the sound of where you live and the range in your kitchen x
