I'm only five DAYS post sleeve (first full day home, on liquids) and I find that I'm not struggling. I can eat a small bowl of soup in ten minutes and I can get through a Protein shake in half an hour. I also don't get a full feeling. I don't want to jeopardise my sleeve so I'm deliberately not overeating or eating any of the wrong foods but I'm kinda wondering when the fullness and nausea kicks in. I also feel....hungry? I read somewhere that it might just be the stomach acid and you can mistake acid for hunger but I certainly can feel a sensation that feels like hunger. I hope this doesn't last! At this rate I will have lost more weight on pre-op shakes than I do with the sleeve!

Qt, I have added you on fb and I would love an invite to the group please! I'm brand new to Bariatric Pal and in fact brand new to my sleeve as I only had it done last Friday. Facebook is a much easier way for me to connect than forums.

It's nice to meet you Margaret! I noticed straight away that you have a chug because I have a jug (jack russell x pug)! I'm Australian and I was sleeved last Friday July 11th. I'm on my first day home so still navigating it all! Funnily enough I feel very bored. Food breaks your day up so much - you almost navigate your day by it. I'm struggling with not having meals to look forward to! Combine that with being at home but not actually being able to really do anything and I'm quite bored! But I hope that's the worst of my problems. I'm going to try and start planning one thing out of the house every day - I'm lucky enough that my husband has taken time off to look after me so he can be my chauffeur! I'm just soooo sick of laying down and watching TV. I do walk around as much as practical but I find I get weak quite quickly and I need a a break which is weird for me because I normally have so much stamina. Oh well! Learning as I go. Oh, and I don't miss coffee but I do miss the ritual of it!
