I feel like that some days. It is funny sometimes I can't choke down 2 bites then other times I am waiting for that too full feeling and it never comes. I am 8 months out.

I feel that way. I still eat too fast and I still eat 2 bites past the full feeling. But I do measure and track, and I am still coming in at around 800-850 calories a day with 70-90 g of Protein and about 40 g of carbs, plus I am losing, slowly, but with minimal stalls. So I doubt I am truly overeating. It also depends on the type of food. Dense Protein is harder to overeat, but wet food like eggs or deli turkey, goes down way too easy. The good news for me is that I can eat anything and have never been nauseous. The bad news is that I can eat anything! I haven't tried bread of sweets, and probably won't for a long time, as that is a slippery slope for me. My thought is that "I'm a bite away from a bagel a day".

I feel this way all the time. I am 3 months post op. I have kidney disease so I cannot eat as much Protein as everyone else so mine is a little different. I eat anywhere from 600-1000 calories a day. My doctor says I should eat when I'm hungry eat slow and eat until I'm full. But definitely feel like a 1000 is too much. I have lost 75 lbs in three months need to exercise more but I haven't had any stalls yet.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
