Misread your post, sorry. Well it seems they feel I should be able to eat more then what I am, and that I am ot 'sensative' to to much. I personally thought this was normal as from friends that have had it and through postings, but they feel it is a complication. My so called sensitivity to what I thought to be may be certain foods, seems to be a problem. Four months post op and I don't eat more then the size of a quarter, or at most half a gold ball size. They feel I should be able to tolerate more foods at this point and take in a little bit more, as well as not have a sensitivity to so many things. Only time will tell. IF my pouch is to small, then it will pretty much just have to stay at that size, if it is something else or a combination of that and something else then whatever the other part is could be fixed, such as if it was the pipe from throat to pouch that needs to be stretched then they could do that. But from the sounds of it they are thinking it's my pouch, the pouch itself or some kind of obstruction inside the pouch. Who knows, who knows :/ Jules what do you do again at the hospital? Maybe I will be seeing you with all this testing I am having going on lol. Ya never know. I will def keep you all updated. Thanks for the support Jules, Brick and Cherrie whom has sent me private messages to check on me. Best I can do is stay positive and make the best of it

Keepers. Are you not taking in a lot of fluids also? Sorry you had a bad time at Albany med. that ER is absolutely insane

Well they hydrated me as a precaution but once blood work came back it turned out that my electrolytes and what not were PERFECT! As I said, I think my doctor is a bit over worried. Keep in mind I did have a large amount of my stomach removed so obviously I'm not going to be able to eat dramatically at all and I would be more sensative to some foods. The doc threw in a comment towards discharge that with the percent I have had removed she felt it was normal what I am experiencing. Next week will tell us a little more.

It's surreal. Last time I lost any significant weight (with Medifast), it took 5 months to lose 50 pounds and it was VERY temporary. But I thought THAT was lightning fast! Thank goodness I've made some good WLS friends who are at different stages. We exchange clothes and it saves a TON of money!

      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.
