Ugh, so finally ate lunch around 3:45 and housed a 10.5 ounce Lean Cuisine (took about 12-15 minutes to eat it). I was still hungry, so I figured I'd go for Protein, so I ate a light cheese stick. Waited a few minutes and I was STILL hungry. So I grabbed the Quakes rice cakes stash and had about 10 mini cakes (60 cals for 7 I think it is).

Anyway, I'm not even concerned with calories right now because I'm still WAY under, but I know I can't continue to eat like this (portion size wise). I am sitting here NOW feeling over full (still never get the chest pains, but all of a sudden I feel like I've eaten Thanksgiving dinner).

I did stop after the Lean Cuisine to see if I would feel full (didn't eat too fast, nothing got stuck), but I was legitimately still hungry. Now I probably will eat hardly anything for dinner because it's so late. The thing is, I will be satisfied for 4 hours or so, but my portion size is still out of whack.

I know I need a fill, I guess I just needed to vent. Thanks for listening.

(Praying to God I don't go in next week for my fill to find out my pouch is stretched!!!) :(

maybe it was just an off day? there are just some days where i'm more hungry than others but i admit, i rarely feel hungry anymore.

just this weekend i went out for valentines day and ate almost an entire chicken breast when i normally can eat less than half. i also ate half of a baked potatoe. i haven't been able to eat that much for SO long that i thought for sure i over did things but i felt fine afterwards.

also, i seem to feel fuller quicker when its that time of the month.

just take it one day at a time!!

I think we are all going to have "bad" days. But we need to keep things in perspective. How does a "bad" day pre-op compare to a "bad" day post op. If we were perfect we would not have needed the surgery to begin with. We are all "losers" and proud of it.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
