Hi everyone.

I am three weeks post op and everything has been going well for me so far except that I don't feel that have a restriction and I often found myself finishing a portion size larger than what I used to have pre-op.

I was just wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing.

Thankful

Are u talking about liquid stage of diet, soft mushy or regular food. These are really important questions to answer. :)

I am on soft diet right now and for example, I can finish four boiled eggs at one meal without feeling any restriction.

Whoa - I am lucky if I can get through 1/3 of one egg without feeling I have had a full Thanksgiving dinner. I would call your Dr.

Im surprised you aren't feeling restriction, usually when people are on the liquid stage they don't feel any because it goes right through, I would definantly call my doctor in the morning, 4 eggs is a lot, your stomach is still healing and you dont want to cause a leak.

That does not sound right. Maybe your nerves in your stomach are still numb from surgery and you just can't feel that you're over-full? Four eggs is way too much. I'm a year out and I don't know if I could even eat 4 eggs at a time. Not that I would ever try. Be careful. Ask your doctor what he/she thinks.

I could only eat about half an boiled egg and it took me over 2 hours to do at that stage. That should be way to much food for your stomach. I would call the doctor.

You said you felt no restriction, but did you feel sick?

The great thing about our new tool; for me is although I may feel hungry, I can only take three or four bites before I am totally stuffed. Sometimes it is a little frustrating but at the end of the day this is why I got sleeved because I did not know when to stop eating.

      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.
