New sleeve but iit doesnt feel restricted

[Yvette Simmons 0]

I thought I was the only on feeling this way. I had my surgery on January 10th. I am still on liquids/semi liquids. I am not sure when i am hungry or full. I cannot tell. i keep feeling like my mind is playing tricks on me. I drink my Protein Shake in the morning and then Water throughout the day. Then I say oh shoot I need to have something else and have either another Protein shake or some Soup. I am so confused. I am following my doctors instructions but I am not sure. Suggestions? I am supposed to moved to pureed foods on Friday.

cyncitygirl....hopefully you were able to have some Cereal this weekend and that it made your tummy content!! After you get to full solids, you may elect to cut carbs somewhat when you need to keep losing - it's all a balance. I mostly have cottage cheese for Breakfast (1/2 cup) and some canned pears, peaches or pineapple or I have a Protein Bar (Atkins daybreak - Almond/cranberry) I also enjoy a couple of huge cups of coffee in the morning. It's like a Soup cup - and I am able to drink two of them at 16 oz each = 32 oz. then a Protein shake for 12 oz and later I sip Water from my 24 oz water bottle, sometimes I put a packet of crystal light in it, or MIO sweet tea, or a sugar free Hawaiian punch. Tada...that's 64 oz right there. Getting in your liquids is so important!!

Oh I meant to tell you I love San Diego too. Old Town Cafe for good Mexican food. We used to go every year a couple of times down from L.A. last time I was post op - and I was able to enjoy a chile relleno a la carte!

Im in the same situation theres about a week and a half out and i had my first egg today and it took me about 30 mins ( waiting between bites for the "full " feeling) and it never came... if it hadn't been for my niece i probably would have eaten the whole egg! Im so afraid that i put myself through this and will fail... advice?

Just because we can eat like this doesn't mean we should.
