Same here, and sleeved the same day! I had 1 egg this morning and still felt like i couldve ate another 1. Even i can have a 10 ounce broth/soup and be fine. No feeling of fullness nor hunger. It just leaves me unsatisfied[emoji58]

Yesss....that is totally how I feel with Soup, yogurt, etc.. The only reason I stop eating is because it still hurts once the food is going down or I get really bad acid reflux (or what feels like reflux). Sometimes I keep regretting this decision.

Yeah i say the same sometimes but i know itll be worth it, i just had tuna with avacodo for lunch and ate 3/4 of a can. I just say to myself if i didnt have the surgery i wouldve had a burger and fries. We got this! The dr put me on carafate for acid reflux and alot of burping and it has been awesome

Just wondering..... I was sleeved 2/8/17 but yet I don't have feelings of "fullness", is something wrong or am I just that fat that this will not work?????

It will be a while before your stomach is "wired" correctly again. Those sensors that used to tell us we were full get all screwed up after surgery. This is why measuring out your portions is so critical. You could be over stuffing your new stomach but your body can't tell you "stop!" at this stage, or it does signal you but it's way too late. While it's true some people can only manage 2-4 oz after a few weeks and others can comfortably do 6 oz you'll have to figure yourself out.

Also keep in mind that not all ounces are equal. I find that I can have 5 oz of yogurt and feel like I didn't even eat, but 4 oz of ground beef left me feeling stuffed.

Agreed!!! I eat a couple of bites of a high Protein item every couple of hours. I generally can't do more than a few bites of something that is solid like meat or veggies. I make all of my Protein Drinks with only 1 cup of Water or almond milk and I can generally finish that in a 30 minute time period. I try to focus more on getting my 60-80g of protein in. I am a band to sleeve conversion so not ever having that full feeling (or "stuck" feeling in the case of my band!) is really weird! Just track everything!

      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.
