@ickihun have you really read what the posters are saying? its not a case of smaller meals. Its a case of a long list of what they cannot eat in any quantity, and often even a teeny quantity comes back.
I know you feel committed to this surgery but please, read what the posters have said instead of dismissing it as them not being educated before the surgery, or trying to eat too much, or the wrong foods. They are not expecting to be able to eat the way they did, they are expecting to be able to eat sufficient for their bodies needs without throwing most of it back up.
I personally know two women who had bad results from this surgery. They cannot eat out. They cannot digest even simple foods. They have purees to eat, just a few tablespoonfuls at a time. These are informed, educated women who understand how their digestive system works and what the surgery was supposed to entail, and did everything they were supposed to do post-op and in the several years since.
Unfortunately, for many people, this surgery does not do what it is supposed to do in terms of future eating afterwards. They are permanently harmed by the surgery and basically living of supplements and liquids. And this negative experience is written off or dismissed as a rare occurrence. Well, I know its only anecdotal, but it seems, from what i read, that there are a disturbing amount of these anecdotes around.
Not to mention the high proportion of whom have to have their gall bladders removed and other surgeries later too, and have skin problems, both with the problem of excess skin (removal is not available on the NHS) and skin infections, plus all the complications of malnourishment which supplementation long term cannot make up for fully.
I have felt for a while now, reading your posts, that our are being overly optimistic in your view of the surgery, and what it can do against how it may harm you. I undestand you are desperate but you are doing so well without the surgery.
I will now butt out, and stop being a busybody. My reasons for posting like this are well intentioned.
