I had eggs for my first semi solid food and it was awesome. The only thing is I just had one egg and nothing more. I m quite full now and don't want anything else. Will this change? I'm just worried about getting enough Protein daily. Also, why is it that we need to separate drinking liquids? I was kinda thirsty.

7 weeks out. I can manage 1 egg and a slice of bacon or a sausage. I hear that people are able to eat more as time goes by.

The drinking with meals causes the food to flush through your sleeve faster. Some people purposely drink so the food will go down so that they can eat more.

I have to admit that this is one problem I still have and on occasion I forget and just take a drink. I don't think that it will "harm" you. But it's probably something you don't want to make a regular habit.

It's the one thing it seems ALL the doctors and clinics agree on.

I don't know when you had surgery but seems by your post that it was after me. I am 6 1/2 weeks out and finished my first egg today. I barely did it and was full for a very long time. So you are doing great. At this stage you should still supplement with a Protein Shake to reach your goals. Balancing eating real foods, not drinking for an hour after eating and still meeting my Fluid and Protein goals have been a little challenging for me. It is getting better every day though. Best wishes!

I am one year out and it makes me physically sick if I drink to soon after eating. And it really depends on the food...salad goes through quicker than lets say a dense Protein like steak or chicken or ground beef. I had 1 egg and 1 slice of bacon and 1 piece of toast for dinner tonight and I was full. I always eat my protein first. I remember when I first added eggs to my menu after surgery i was so excited I cooked 3 scrambled eggs and then laughed because I knew there was no way I could eat all that!

      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.
