StRted soft mushy food and I feel full after a couple bites but like I feel like I have to eat a lot more. Like I'll eat 5 bites and then wait a hour or so eat another 5 bites or so. Is that normal? Also for some reason I feel a lot more energize with food than I did the liquids. Even though technically it's not as much Protein but I still feel kinda a lot better is this normal?

I agree, I feel much more satiated with real food instead of liquids and shakes. Everyone can chime in on whether or not it is good to eat every hour or so, but I think not. I have read horror stories about people regaining because they bypass the sleeve by eating every hour. They grab a large meal, and eat til they get full. Then wait an hour, and eat again. They effectively eat way too much by grazing. Anyway, it probably isn't a good habit to form. I will admit, it does feel weird to eat so little though. Are you actually feeling hungry every hour, or are you just eating to get more calories in?

No you're getting all wrong. I been eating on 1 pouch of tuna just one and still not done with it. It's not even a big pouch probably like a small juice pouch. I eat every hour or so because I'm actually really hungry. Like I'll probably eat some more at 6 o clock. I was told to get my Protein from food now not from supplements. Only when needed to use a supplement.

Oh, okay. My misunderstanding. It is very hard for me to get enough Protein by just eating at this stage. I think I can only consume about 4 ounces of pureed foods per sitting. I eat 2X daily, and have a Premier Protein shake 2X daily. The Protein Shakes take care of 60 grams of my requirement. I can then eat some kind of pureed fish with pureed veggies for 1 meal, and maybe cottage cheese with pureed fruit for the other. Anyway, good luck with the rest of this stage.

Yeah it's super hard I was told to get most of my protein from food which is hard and only use a supplement once a day. It's a battle man but good luck with the rest of your stage as well

      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.
