Do you eat until you're full or just in portions? I'm still new to the eating. I'm on liquids, but should start eating soft foods tomorrow.

Not hungry.. Just head hunger. I feel great with the liquids, but I rarely feel the fullness in my stomach. I'm just worried it'll be the same when I start eating and that I'll over eat and stretch my stomach. :/

I wouldn't worry I felt the same way on liquids I felt like I could just keep sipping but when I could finally eat it was a lot different I now get full very fast like 3 bites fast but full thanksgiving full lol If you can eat more than what you think you should make sure you get you 60-80 grams of Protein and then munch on some veggies hope this helps!

Remember, at this early stage you may not feel full. Your nerves were severed in your stomach and are healing. I recommend measuring everything you eat and not exceeding 1/2 cup (1/4 cup may be all you can hold early on).

Just home from the hospital today. I found I could drink a lot of the high-protein Soup, but I still have problems with the cold drinks. 1 or 2 ounces and my guts start cramping. They've got to be very cold to be able to get them down, but I think but my stomach doesn't like it. Today it took 14 hours to get 1.5 bottles down. Tomorrow I'll start with what my stomach wants.

      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.
