I get that pressure sensation too. It is really strange. At first I thought it was gas but it happens to me whenever I eat OR drink too fast. I was always a fast eater and a gulper so this is really training me to be very conscious of what goes in my mouth.

Down 13.8 since surgery. I'm excited but the loss still seems super slow for me. Maybe I'll start measuring inches....I'm wearing jeans today that I wasn't able to fit before surgery.....looking forward to seeing the numbers on the scale go down, down, and down!!!

There is no x amount you should be losing. As long as your losing that is all that matters. Every body is different with different health issues and situations. It is frustrating when we compare ourselves to others and they have lost 25+ lbs. The important thing is that we recover from surgery, get healthy and continue weight loss. So lets keep on rocking...best to you.

I started puréed a couple days ago, I get that funny pressure sensation, too. I've learned it's my sign to slow down or stop!!

Lost 11!

I can start mushies today. I went to the commissary and got the goods. Puréed some chicken and avocado with hummus on the side.

Was only able to eat 3 tsp and got full. So satisfying!

It's good to have meat again! I'm in a good mood now.

I meant tbsp on my last post!

There is something very wrong if I can only get a couple of teaspoons in!

Have you found anything that helps? I'm taking Prevacid daily but thinking about trying pepto bismol or tums...

I definitely have morning nausea as well, in fact, yesterday I had an early morning flight from Florida to Philadelphia and got sick on the plane - was feeling very nauseous before I even boarded and then felt fine the rest of the day after.

I haven't really been eating anything for Breakfast so I wasn't sure if that was it - tomorrow I get to start soft foods and plan on doing eggs in the am - hoping that will help.

I have noticed that I am very sensitive to the cold! Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if it's my body slowing down everything to conserve energy, my weightloss has slowed down....

No pepto! It has asprin in it.

      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.
