Purplecarnation ,

I am in the same boat as you on the not having any feeling of fullness ( mine also is hunger ) my Surgeon said this is perfectly normal , They told me just make sure im measuring my Fluid intake and one indicator if you are getting close ( over 2oz. ) is you will belch!

Now that i measure all of my fluids I feel fine and somewhat in control of whats going on !

GAS ..Humm not sure about that, didnt have that issue , Ask your surgeon

Constipated , I was told to add Fiber to my meals to promote regularity ( it works ) but again,check with your surgeon

Hope you feel better soon

RJ

You maybe lactose intolerant, you may need to change your Protein, make sure it's milk free, and instead of adding protein to ur Soup, maybe you should try half Water half protein or milk, and add benefiber to your daily diet that may help. Good luck...

Instead of a full scoop of Protein do half. I did that today and it helped. As for Constipation have you tried milk of magnesia?

My Nutritionist Has Me On Beneprotein Which Requires ThRee Small Scoops. I Haven't Tried "MOM" only Doculax. I Will Pick Some Up And Give It A Try. Normally I'm A Very Positive Person But I'm So Frustrated Lately.....Ugh. Thanks For Listening To My Moaning And Groaning....

Did I actually have wls cause my scale sure isn't reflecting it. It hasn't moved in a week. Kinda disappointed.

Didn't you lose really fast in the beginning? I've had steady loss... so maybe your body is trying to hold on to something to make sure doesn't starve

I lost thirteen the first couple of days plus the 22 that I gained at the hospital. I've lost another 2 since then and that's it. So frustrating.

      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.
