Some of it was stomach acid for me. It's kind of leveling out. I've been doing cream Soups, pea Soup, etc and if the have chunks I pulverize them in the blender. You can also add Protein Powder to this and sneak in some Protein at the same time.

I'm 5 days ahead of you and I was hungry at first too but it evens out. I'm eating foods with a bit more body now, will officially be able to move to puree/soft next week but I've been thickening my sops with yogurt now, even adding some meat to my Soups and blending them- and it's helped to feel fuller. It took me a few days. I still get a little hunger some times but I think some of it is head hunger also. I also have heard that it takes a little whole for the hunger hormone to leave out bodies and I think I may have finally experienced this because the past few days I haven't been hungry at all but have to make myself eat to get Protein. It will get better, but do try an acid reducer to see if that helps. Its also been really easy for me to tolerate everything I've eaten so far and sometimes I wonder if that's normal. I'll try something new, wait and expect to feel something bad but don't. I think we may just be lucky lol

I've been walking every day for a little while though the weather is getting cold here so I need to get to a gym soon- that's on my list of priorities lol. Dr told me 6 weeks before I can work out with any intensity but walking was a go from day one. I'm actually eager to start working out- first time in my life I've ever said that LOL

Why am i hungry?

selbradey

DOS 11/19

easy to tolerate food, liquids???

sounds like your sleeve is being a good sleeve, and allowing you to drink what you are supposed to - broth, liquids - doesn't sound like you are overdueing anything

your dr. said ok to - eat yogurt, pudding, Jello et al - couple of spoonfulls

sounds like you are doing fine, don't look for trouble :huh::)

many many people don't start to feel the restriction of the sleeve until they start on solids

take care

speedy recovery

      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.
