Days out and I feel my stomach can handle so much more!!! I don't necessarily need to sip so many small sips!!! And I can eat 2 2 ounce meals a day with finishing a applesauce! Has anyone else had and experience with this?

I'm on day 10 here and the last day or two I've found that I can actually take a good mouthful of liquid now. I still remind myself to take it slow when drinking the high Protein shakes etc... as they can sit pretty heavy in the stomach. I'm still on full liquids for 3 more weeks until I meet with my surgeon again on Jan 14th then he'll move me on to the mushee/puree stage, and then no solids for an additional 4 weeks after that! I'm glad you are doing so well too!

Call your doc and see if he will allow to eat puréed food like tuna with fat fee mayo Greek yogurt!! It's such a small amount of food the liquids are heavier I'm gonna upload you a pic!! I'm sorry your going through this!! I go back to the doc jan 8th and if everything looks good I can start solids I'm nervous!! But I have been including 1 meal a day for the past two days and it's been great!!!

Also try making a hearty Protein shake

2 scoops of Protein

4 ounce Water

4 ounce silk milk

Little less than a half of banana

And frozen peaches mangoes

That's about 40 grams

I didn't have any outter staples either just steri-strips. I'm 5 weeks out and can't still eat much. I'm on soft food phase and usually only eat 2 meals which consists of around 6 bites (and I'm stuffed) then I usually do a snack once a day and a morning Protein Shake. Not eating much or drinking much at all but what I do have fills me up. I guess I'll take it because im down 33lbs since surgery and 48 since beginning of my journey.

Question what did u get stapled!!! I don't have staples so maybe things are different

if you had your stomach cut, you must have staples? Did you have the sleeve?

      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.
