Hi. I was sleeved 06/09/2016. So I'm still healing. I had a lot of diarrhea until I was allowed to eat cream of wheat. I don't eat much I guess. I'm afraid I'm eating to much. I get uncomfortable after eating. Premier Protein shakes made me sick pre op. Anyway. Help. How much should I be able to drink? Our post op directions says 2nd week we can can a small Greek yogurt no fruit. It's 5ounzes. I slowly sat there and ate it all. I ate my cream of wheat. It was about half a serving mixed with genpro then watered down with almond milk. Got that down too. I feel like I'm eating to much. I'm goin to hit the Water now but I've taken a Miralax as I feel very full. Let know ANY advice. I'm nervous and feel alone. Thanks.

For this stage I was told no more than 1/2 cup in an hour.

It sounds like you're doing great......As long as you're in the full liquid stage you're not going to feel too much restriction....I can eat a whole yogurt as well and that's normal.......Once you move to soft foods things like ground meats you'll feel the restriction.....once you start that you'll want to start measuring your food and staying between a quarter to a half a cup of food at a time....Things like yogurt, pureed Soups and Protein drinks go down a lot easier because they don't have to sit in your stomach in order to be digested....

Keep doing what you're doing and asking whatever questions you have.

I just went back and reread your post.....did you have yogurt and cream of wheat at the same time?.....I assumed you meant two different meals....I can just barely get a whole yogurt down.....I don't eat things like cream of wheat because I'm staying away from carbs while I'm in the weight loss phase.

No. Not at once. The Cereal was for Breakfast. That's what they told me to eat. Do you have good liquid ideas. I'm not really a fan of creamed cereals and normally would love to have real food. They said it was ok in the 2nd week because the thickest things I can have are yogurt and sf puddings. I'm so sick of sweets and it's hard to find a creamy Soup not loaded with fat and all kinds of garbage. I'm definitely struggling.

I had to strain creamed Soups, I ate cream of Tomato and cream of chicken. I could eat very little so I wasn't worried too much about calories and such that early on. (We're talking just a couple TBS at a time)

Once you're able to have pureed the Progresso Lite Soups are great......I would open a can run it through the blender and put the rest in an ice tray and freeze it.....put the cubes in a freezer bag to use later......then once you're past needing pureed food the cubes are great to use for seasoning when baking chicken...

so what is this restriction

"Restriction" refers to the feeling of fullness after a few bites of food.

It's strange how some of our diets differ.

      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.
