So here's my issue....during the day I have a hard time drinking or eating. I feel really bloated or just full. I'm 11 days post op and I'm on thick liquids. I usually start my day with a Muscle milk Protein Shake 8.25oz 100 calories. I never finish it in one setting. I sip a bottle of Water for hours. My next meal would be some type of Soup. I measure it in 1/4cup containers. I usually have some left over and feel extremely stuffed afterwards. After about an hour I start sipping that same bottle of water. I may try more soup 4 hours later same story can't get it down. On e I go to bed around 9pm I alsaays wake up extremely hungry. My stomach is t bloated the swelling feels monimumal at this time I can finish a whole bottle of water in the matter of minutes. What causes this or do anyone else have this problem

I'm not bloated and the swelling is minimal at night. I feel like I can eat a whole cup of Soup.< /p>

Maybe at this time you should eat something. Or try to eat a little something before you go to bed. The band in its self makes you gasy

I'm on Day 11, too. Up to about 600-700 calories a day now. I woke up starving last night and ate a little container of applesauce. I'm hungry (and maybe you are too) because I'm not getting enough calories in the day. The applesauce worked but a wiser choice would have been yogurt since it has Protein.< /p>

I guess my problem is I would rather eat during the day when I'm active verses late at night when I'm resting.

      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.
