Liquids don't fill me up



Recommended Posts

I had my band to sleeve revision on January 8th. I'm reading a lot about people feeling full from the Water. I can drink any amount of any liquid and it doesn't affect me. I'm starting to worry. Any one else with the same problem?

The most common reason for not feeling full during the liquid phase is that you may not be getting enough Protein. You need to be getting 60 grams of protein per day. This can be achieved thru Protein Shakes and drinks. Most protein shakes are about 20g and I like the Isopure Zero Carb drinks which contain 40g of protein.

Grape Frost is unfortunately one flavor I did not like. Are you using the powder or the ready to drink bottles? Get the bottles.. way better! I did not like Passion fruit either.

Love: Apple Melon, Blue Raspberry, Icy Orange and Mango Peach. Alpine Punch is pretty good and have yet to do the Orange pineapple banana one.

I had my revision on the 9th, and I am not having any problems with my Clear Liquids. I am beginning to worry that my sleeve is too big or is leaking. My diet plan from my surgeon and nut will not allow me to start my Protein supplements until day 7. I hate feeling hungry!! Best of luck to you!!

      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.
