I will be 3 weeks post op on wed and I feel no restriction from my sleeve yet . Is this normal? I feel I can drink as much as I want, when I eat my shakes or creamy Soups I never get a full feeling. Has anyone else experienced this ?

I've heard people on here say u will feel the restriction when u start eating more solid foods. liquids flow easier through the sleeve.

I didn't feel any restriction on liquids. When I went to puree, I started feeling restriction depending on what I ate. eggs gave me a lot of restriction but cottage cheese doesn't fill me up at all. Now that I'm eating ground turkey and beef, I really feel it. At 6 weeks, I'm at around 2 oz.

I had rny and feel the same way, I feel like I could eat normal but of course I don't try it. I'm only eating very soft things. Scrambled egg and cottage cheese is probably as far as I push it right now. I'm almost 2 weeks out.

I am also 3 weeks post op with the same lack of feeling " full". I am trying to make sure I stick to 4oz at time to make sure it isn't a result of the incision that severed nerves that need time to heal.

I am one week and one day post op today and was talking with Gail my patient coordinator from the hospital, I love her. I was concerned with how much I was getting down a day. I am getting in all my Protein and my Water, grant it it will take me about an hour or so do finish a shake but I'm doing it. I guess I am feeling full since I am not feeling hungry? If that makes sense?

Gail says I am doing just great and to keep doing what I am doing. She also said like other that have posted when you start eating more dense foods you will feel fuller faster and not be able to get as much down,.

I have decided to be extremely happy with my progress and thank my lucky stars!!!

      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.
