@"mallnut" thanks for your insight. I usually measure and weight my food;use small plates, and baby utensils. So when I see people say two bites and I'm full I'm getting scared. I'm averaging 2-4 depending on the foods. Softer foods can be more than chunkier. Everything I eat is Protein base.

I'm now just over a year out. I also had this concern. However, just because you can, doesn't mean you should. It isn't about how much you can fit in your new tiny tummy, but how little can you eat and be satisfied. I strongly suggest you measure and follow your program. You won't regret it.

So I'm 2 weeks post op (sleeve) and I'm on mushy foods. I really have no problem getting down the 4oz my doctor recommends. I even had 5oz of mashed potatoes. Think anything is wrong?

Oh and one of the best things to eat is wonton broth with pastina in it...just a little FYI

My plan is 1-2 ozs working up to 4 ozs by week 6. It's important to measure and stick with your recommended portions. Take advantage of this time to learn better eating habits - don't rely on your stomach to tell you when to stop eating. Protein is first - so unless you are getting all your Protein before having potatoes or pastina - I'd reconsider your choices. Pasta of any kind can trigger more cravings for carbs.

Volume and Weight are two totally different things, so it does matter how you measure.

Yes they are different. My comment was based on the puree stage which I found didn't matter with how I measured. Solids are a different story.

      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.
