So I started my 3rd Week (Purees) yesterday and I am wondering what everyone else is eating and how many times a day are you eating. Also, how many Protein drinks a day? I have been enjoying my homemade Soup broths that I kind of don't want to let go of having soup. But, I also noticed I am starting to get hungry. Can I get some input please.

Ugh. This is such horrible pain :-(

Ate my purees a little of refried beans and tuna. As soon as I was done I got this horrible pain in my back. Its been thirty minutes now and won't go away :-( help!!!!!

I completely understand what your saying! I am going through the same. I haven't had that "full" feeling yet. And I keep wondering "did they remove an enough amount of my stomach?". I also want to feel that full feeling where my body tells me "that's it your done for this meal". I am thinking I haven't got that feeling because I am only in my puree stage. My biggest fear is stretching my stomach. Hang in there. Hopefully things will get better!

Have you gotten to the point where you feel full? I haven't yet but, then again I have been mostly having broth. I think I am so paranoid of stretching my stomach.

Congrats! Keep up the great work!

So I am getting a little disappointed here. I'm exactly 2 weeks post- op and have lost 10lbs. When I did the liquid diet pre-op I lost 16. Has this happened to anyone? Also, I can't stand protein drinks anymore- I am basically not taking in any protein. Can this be a reason why I am not losing more weight?

I was sleeved on July 17th and as soon as I woke up in the recovery room all I could do was cry and ask myself why did I put myself through this. Trust me its the pain talking. Today I feel so happy I did this surgery. I am 32lbs down! If I didn't do the surgery I would still be feeling sad with my 274lbs. Please hang in there. It does get better! Hope you two feel better soon!

It was lack of vitamins. I started to take B12 and feeling so much better.

I started purees yesterday. I bought baby food (stage 1) not feeling full yet, but not feeling hungry either. I'm just very scared of stretching my stomach after all this hard work. I am also drinking my protein drinks again (yuck!). Lol. Btw I am down two pounds!!!

Also, how do you know when your full? I have been having broth and haven't felt the feeling of being ”full”. I stop after my 7th sip bc I'm scared of stretching my stomach. could you please give me some feedback on this.

Ok. I am definitely going to start my protein drinks again. Thanks ladies!

It only occurs at night time when I'm laying down. I think I'll def call my Dr. tomorrow. I hope it isn't something bad. My biggest fear is blood clots.

Congrats on your weight loss- you look fantastic!
