Hi guys I'm new here and absolutely love this site! I was sleeved on april 14th so I'm about 3 and a half weeks post op on the puree stage now. Down 25 lbs. I'm a little worried because sometimes I don't get that full "feeling" with certain foods and get super full real quick with other foods. Depending on what I'm eating I can definitely put in more than 2 oz. It scares me because I'm still learning to be aware of what and how much I eat. Is this normal though, not "feeling" full with some foods? Thanks!

I had the surgery April 22 and really have yet to feel "full". I stop eating because I feel I should, not because I feel I have to. No hunger, but no real signs of full.

I just started purée, not sure if this will change once I get soft food

I'm eating 400-650 calories per day...which seems high.

I wish I had the infamous sneeze, hiccup or burp that others seem to get

Try thicker foods like refried Beans. Also the drinking rule is very pertinent on whether you feel full or not. But yes, I'm 3 months out and I've learned which foods will keep me full longer, etc

I get the hiccups, loud ones too! But sometimes I feel like it takes a while and more than 2 oz to get there. I don't intentionally eat til the hiccups come, like I said still learning the "you should stop eating now" mindset. Slowly getting there :/

      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.
