Your status says Pre-op so are you asking if 4oz of food does not fill your up now or after you had surgery? Before surgery your stomach is the size of a football after surgery it will be the size of an egg 6oz. Also, you need to know what filled up feels like. It will no longer be in your stomach but in your chest around your breastplate. What eating stage are you at and how long ago did you have your surgery?

My plan allowed purees starting on day 3. What does your plan look like for you? I noticed on day 4, I ate 1 bite of yogurt. Now, at 8 weeks I can eat 4oz of puree, but don't feel full unless I'm eating dense Protein like meat. To me, full feels gross. Even if you can eat more, stick to the amount prescribed and you will be fine.

I was told I would be in for a treat once I was on solids. I have one more week of soft foods then solids here I come. I am taking this time to learn how to chew food. My advisor told me the key to any diet going forward is to chew and when you think you have chewed enough chew some more. My wife likes my new eating habits because I no longer rush her by eating and finishing before her. She had to wait for me to finish.

      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.
