That? That's the sound of my full signal. Except it isn't. I'm 6 days post op and although I do feel pressure sometimes, it's usually just because I'm gulping and not sipping on my Water. I've been staying hydrated; lots of fluids and I'm feeling good. However, tonight, I'm trying to add some yogurt into my diet (I'm allowed 2-4 Tbls. of it).

I ate the whole container.

Now, who could blame me? I've loved key lime all my life, and Greek yougurt was a new one for me, and it was so delicious, and....yeah. Gone.

The package says it contains 6oz. of yogurt. By my calculations, that's about 3 times what I should have had. But the sleeve was ok with this. No foaming, no bubbling, not even a tiny little burp to let me know that capacity had been reached. And I ate it slowly, about 30-40 minutes.

Right now, between my confusion and guilt of my transgression, I'm just going to concentrate on sticking to my diet. Meeting with the dietician tomorrow, probably will have to confess.

But does this have ominous implications? Did my stomach really get smaller, or did they just harvest one of my kidneys? :P

I guess I'll just have to see. I suppose I could have made a worse choice.

You're fine. It's yogurt. Believe me when I tell you, you'll start to feel restriction when you move to mushies!! You're just a fast healer--celebrate that. :-) Yogurt's consistency makes it a full liquid in my nutritionist's plan (anything you can slurp with a straw), so I don't think you've done anything wrong. Hang in there; you'll feel that restriction soon enough!

      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.
