For the most part you will feel a little discomfort starting but in the beginning it's just a good rule of thumb to measure 1/4 cup and not eat over that.

Please measure your food. You are still healing and probably won't feel full until you move to dense Protein.< /p>

Sometimes when I start eating after a few bites I feel discomfort and then I stop eating .. And then I get hungry not to long after that

i'm in the mush phase too. The only time I feel discomfort is when I eat refried Beans. I can't even get the 1/4 cup down. Hope all is well.

Tomorrow I advance to the fourth and final stage and I am afraid. I don't know what to expect with increasing my calories or what to eat. Sometimes it's just easier not to eat.

That's exactly how I feel I don't know what to eat so I just rather not eat anything...

Same here! I don't have a nutritionist, so I'm sort of on my own.

I go to the doctor still so I have one but they are not clear on what they say... They think we should already know or something... What stage are you on

Make sure you are taking infant sized bites for your new infant sized and chew until there is nothing left. I used the 30 Chew Rule. If it was gone after 30 chews, I would spit it out. If your teeth can't pulverize it, there's no way your stomach will be able to break it down easily. Also remember it should take you close to 30 minutes to eat. Its real easy to eat too big of bites and too fast. I'm over 15 months out and STILL measure things. It is the best way. Also stop eating when you first feel that pressure sensation so you don't over eat. You can always wait 15 minutes and eat some more if you're afraid you're not getting enough. It took me close to an hour in the soft and early regular food stage because the curve at the top op my stomach was so tight. Hang in there. It does get MUCH better!

      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.
