So...can someone explain in full detail what it feels like to be full with your new pouch? How do you know? How many bites can you eat? I'm only a few days post-op but already dreaming of solid food stage in a few weeks lol

You wont feel that feeling for a few weeks till the nerve endings heal

Same here. I hiccup even when I drink too fast. You just have to eat slow and listen to your body.

i get the hiccups too, isn't it funny that's our new signal?

It's hard to explain to people how you get full off so little, but trust me you'll know when you're there. It takes a lot longer for the mental connection to occur...at least for me.

When I had the surgery I always get full for about 4 months. It was really hard to eat or drink. Now at 7 months full feels like a stomach ache with lots of pressure.

I wonder if this is what my pain is that my stomach is finally healed and the nerve endings are working now.

How about when you were liquids only . All I can feel is the gas pressure still from surgery.

      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.
