Gastric sleeve

Give it another week or two. I don't know where you're at stage wise with food. I went through a period of intense hunger but it passed. I'm at 6.5 weeks out.

Everyone heals at different paces and have different feels of restriction. It doesn't matter if you are eating more than your friends, it only matters if you are eating more than your surgeons plan. Talk with him or her about it as they can best provide feedback for your expectations.

The thing is i can eat bread and i feel normal

Bread will not help with hunger. I am almost 6 mths out and haven't tried it yet because it won't help me lose weight. At 4 weeks out, you are still healing and your stomach nerves are not functioning properly to help you feel fullness. Are you on solid foods? Dense Protein? If so, eat dense protein first. Feeling normal is the goal. Everyone tolerates different foods differently.

I think.the best thing to do is measure your food and stop eating when it's gone. Just because you can tolerate more doesn't indicate you NEED to eat more. Make sure you are eating the Protein, veggies and fruits suggested. I understand sleeve I'd different in that you guys don't dump. Eating bread probably won't make you feel bad. It will only prevent you from meeting the goals you have set for yourself. So again this becomes a case of yes you can, but does that mean you should? Why not save that knowledge for special occasions. Holidays and when you're out with friends. Have some of those sometimes foods that we all enjoy. Maybe you can strike a good balance and feel normal by allowing yourself to make good choices on a regular basis while still occasionally enjoying things that aren't suited for daily indulgence. Good luck!

      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.

      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.
