Keep in mind that you have to change the way you eat forever. After that first month, you'll switch to eating soft solid foods very slowly. Other pointers to keep in mind:
- Everything must be chewed thoroughly before being swallowed.
- Don't drink while you eat, as this might cause your new stomach to overfill.
- Drink liquids a half-hour after finishing a meal.
- Avoid high-calorie sodas and snacking.
- Take vitamin and mineral supplements every day.
