So does anyone feel as though they should be eating more? I personally am Never hungry and when I eat I feel satisfied after 1-2 oz of food.< /p>

I hope I am that way when I get sleeved. I am so scared I will be hungry all the time.

Oh my gosh!! I've hit this point where my stomach is growling all the time!! Literally growling! Not just head hunger either. Sometimes I feel like I haven't eaten in a week, then I can hold a good 4-6 ounces. This is getting scary. :( I'm 6 weeks out tomorrow. I was around 800 calories, but that started not quite doing it.

Yes!!! I'm only two weeks out, but I cannot drink more than 3 sips of Water at a time and it takes me all day to get one shake down. I'm weak and worried about getting enough nutrients. I'm for sure not getting enough water in. Every day is a struggle.

Its so confusing to me because I dnt get a really full feeling I just stop because I feel its enough. I think I might be getting 800 but havent been logging food

Ya, I was obsessively logging food. I felt like I needed to log the dust I was breathing in. So , I'm giving that a break. I think i need to get rid of more carbs or something. I think they actually make you more hungry. Oh, and...if you ever get too full...you'll know it! I get an instant headache, and I feel like I'm going to throw up, but i never have. (not since the hospital.) I got that from drinking a Protein shake too fast even! It's a baaadd feeling. bleh.

I am a week out (post op) an now over last two days having problem with my clear liquid protiens. Become real nauseated, diaphoretic, then within few mins have diarrhea. What am I to do. Getting fluids in but not Protein. Really afraid of not getting my nutrients. My 2nd concern is this metal taste in mouth. Cant seem to get rid of it. Any suggestions appreciated.

The metal taste will go away. That's a temporary thing. As for the rest, give your doc a jingle in the morning and see what he recommends you do for intake. Make sure you're not drinking anything too too sugary.

I agree with Dooter. Double check that you aren't getting hidden sugars, they can send you right to the bathroom!

As for the hunger, I find that upping the Protein shakes works to get rid of the hunger. I should probably be eating more regular food by this point but most of the time I don't feel like it. I eat regular food every day but am still drinking shakes.< /p>

I was sleeved on the 22nd. I am still hungry. I can drink fluids with no problem. That scares me. What could be wrong or is this normal?

When I let myself get that hungry I tend to fill up fast and then I don't feel very good for 1/2 to 1 hour, does that happen when you let your self get hungry hungry?

I'm pretty much the same. I do get head hunger, but actual hunger, not at all. And yeah, the tiny amounts of food I eat are ridiculous. I generally have to remind myself that it's time to eat - something that's NEVER happened to me in the past! My NUT wanted me to eat 5 times a day, but I just can't get in more than 4 of those small meals a day. But so long as I'm feeling OK and losing, I'm not going to complain. I must admit that being a food lover, sometimes I do miss the experience of eating. But no regrets whatsoever.

      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.
