Jello please help is this normal



Recommended Posts

I was just sleeved on the 19th I am still on Clear liquids I don't drink much yet not even the total of 64 oz

But I can consume 1 Jello snack in less then 5 minutes is that normal?? Is that ok??

It doesn't bother me at all. If I did that with beef broth that would kill my chess and give me those pains as if I'm eating to fast

Do any of u eat or can eat 1 jello snack that quickly??

I'm the opposite, I can drink Water easier than I can eat Jello. I can only get about half a cup of jello down before I'm full. I'm weird though, so take what I say with a grain of salt :P good luck!

I probably COULD eat my pudding in that amount of time, but I try my best to eat slowly. I am so excited when I eat pudding or Soup (because it is like eating normal food) that I eat at least 1 cup. Worried that I am abnormal or something wrong because I feel hungry most of the time, and can consume so much. My post-op check up is tomorrow, and hoping for the best, Would hate to think that I have messed myself up in less than 2 weeks!

I was sleeved on the 19th as well and left on full liquids. If Jello is easy on your tummy, eat it up...it melts like a liquid and would count as it as well. Good luck!

I was wondering the same thing

I can eat a half a cup of Jello and start hiccuping.

But I can eat the whole cup of yogurt.

Unless I hiccup I'm not sure I can tell I'm full??

And I am not getting anywhere close to the correct amount of fluids or Protein...

Jello is considered a liquid, you won't feel full restriction until you get to denser Proteins, mushy foods. U can consume more liquids than solids because liquids go right through u. Don't worry u r ok. Just take ur time and breathe between bites.

      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.
