Full?

[katherinec 11]

I was sleeved May 6, and I move to the puree phase this evening. I had some (really delicious!) mashed potatoes. I'm nervous, though, because they didn't make me full. Maybe I just didn't let it get to that point? I was able to eat more than I thought I would and I'm a little scared now. I did get a sense of fullness on full liquids. Any insight? I'd really like for my sleeve to tell me that I'm filling up.

perhaps the potatoes are a slider food for you. My NUT recommended adding unflavored Protein Powder to the potatoes. That might help you feel some fullness, otherwise, maybe try something else a bit more nutritious, like yogurt, or cottage cheese.< /p>

It took me a while to realize that I did not have to fill stuffed to be full.I am three months out and now my stomach tells me before I am stuffed, it gives a big noise when it is satisfied and when I am super stuffed, I hiccup three times and my nose will start to run just a little. You have to learn to listen to your body and it will just take time.

Thanks! I know I still have a lot to learn as I'm only 2 weeks out. I'll just have to be careful!

I'm 11 days out. I haven't eaten mashed potatoes but I imagine they wouldn't make me full either. I have been enjoying hard boiled eggs. A half of one fills me up. And hummus has been great too!

hello...

wow.. we were sleeve on the SAME DAY!!.. i havent tried anything pureed yet, but this evening i did try a steamed piece of tilapia and it was extremely to eat and was actually good.. even though it took me 2 hours to eat 4oz fish, I did take my time and chewed very slowly.

during this process, the most important thing that I am learning is to "listen to my body".. I didnt understand it at first, but with each day im learning so much more...

another filling food is the dannon "okios" greek yogurt.. its very very good...

i wish you continued success on this journey.. each day is a learning process for you (and me) but the end results will be WORTH IT... :-)

I like the Dannon as well, but not the 100 calorie version it has a weird after taste. I also ate a lot of baked Beans in the puree stage those seemed to go down well. I mushed them instead of pureeing them, the texture of the Beans has a lot to do with the taste. I pureed chili in a blender once it was awful.
