Hi Guys

I was sleeved last wednesday.

Today I am on Clear liquids, and I was wondering..should I be feeling

satiety on Jello?

I just ate one of those small jellos that you can pick up in a

eight pack at the store and cant really tell if it did anything

for my fullness factor.

Not sure if the discomfort from the surgery is blocking any 'fullness' feelings, or if the Jello just liquifies to the point where it might as well be kool-aid.

tia,

Lisa

Jello makes me full (as does warm thicker soup). But I didn't have Jello until about 6 days after surgery so I'm not sure if it would have felt the same early on. I had two tablespoons of thin guacamole tonight for dinner and felt like I'd just had Thanksgiving dinner. Between that and never feeling hungry I' super happy with the sleeve so far.

A lot of people do not have a "full signal" because the stomach nerves have been severed, and liquids pretty much just slip through. I didn't get a true "full" feeling until fuller liquids like yogurt/cream soups/pudding. Mushies I got major full feelings.

Ok, that makes sense, because the Jello did nothing for me.

I did try some hot and sour Soup minus the 'stuff' that definitely

did fill me up because of the thicker consistency maybe?

It was nice to feel full.

Thanks Tiffykins

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
