I guess I would need more information to be able to help. For example- how much are you drinking/eating at one time? What diet (liquids, puree) are you currently on?

I was instructed 1/8 cup by dietitian but dr instructions didnt say an amount. I was clear liquid 3 days and now full liquids.

I mainly eat Soups.< /p>

I drink a few sips of Water every 15 min as instructed by dietitian.

Liquids give some people a full feeling, but I didn't experience it and I was worried like you. Turns out the liquids go through your stomach very fast.

Once you switch to purees you'll see a HUGE difference and you will know what full means. I'm just transitioning to solids and it's a world of difference even from purees because I have to eat so much more slowly. I love my sleeve!

My surgeon told me the same thing like @@alwaysvegas because I too was worried because I wasn't feeling full. Phase 3.... That's when you will feel full for sure!

      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.
