selbradey 321 Posted November 24, 2012 I have a dr appt tuesday. But did u get over it? Was it mental? Or acid reflux? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boofster 159 Posted November 24, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fallenangel2904 494 Posted November 24, 2012 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 1 Boofster reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive been cra ving creamy. So im due for a store run to get my ingredients. Did you start excersising yet ? I want to do lots of cardio and looking for a gym with a sauna Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fallenangel2904 494 Posted November 24, 2012 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted November 25, 2012 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 many many people don't start to feel the restriction of the sleeve until they start on solids take care speedy recovery 1 selbradey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
