PepperCat 30 Posted October 6, 2017 I’m 11 days post op and today I ate 1280 calories in Soup and yogurt. I don’t get it. I don’t have problems eating too much or getting sick. I feel overly full sometimes like today but never enough to vomit or dump. I can drink Water normally and never have had a problem with that... other people I know can only eat 2-4 ounces at a time... I hope this changes when I go to puréed and soft foods... otherwise idk why I did this surgery!!! I thought I’d be much more restricted than I am. 3 dreamynow, KarenOR and Sophia Duran reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Introversion 1,876 Posted October 6, 2017 Soup is a liquid. Yogurt is a liquid (pudding thick consistency). Liquid-consistency foods don't promote fullness or satiety in many sleevers simply because they don't remain in our sleeved stomachs for longer than a few minutes. liquids exit our sleeves rapidly via the pyloric valve and into the small intestine. You could probably eat a gallon of potato corn chowder soup (3070 calories) over the course of a few hours and still be somewhat hungry. I assure you'll feel stuffed with 4 ounces of chicken breast, pork chops, turkey, or steak. Rigid Protein and fibrous veggies trigger satiety. Everything else is a 'slider,' a.k.a. food that slides into our stomachs without triggering satiety. 5 jess9395, woo woo, OutsideMatchInside and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just got alarmed when so many people could barely finish their Water or protein intake and I was totally fine with it! I graduate to puréed on Monday so hopefully a half a cup of egg salad does the job! 2 teedsg and Sophia Duran reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teedsg 253 Posted October 6, 2017 I feel the same way. I go to puree stage tomorrow. I'm ready for refried beans! Or any mushy foods for that matter.

nikkiyellz 24 Posted October 6, 2017 I hope you are right! I just got alarmed when so many people could barely finish their Water or Protein intake and I was totally fine with it! I graduate to puréed on Monday so hopefully a half a cup of egg salad does the job! I freaked out too lol and had a great recovery with no issues. I could drink all day and as soon as solids... even the scrambled egg is so filling. Trust me, you are restricted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PepperCat 30 Posted October 7, 2017 Yay! Today I ate soft foods. I ate a half cup of corned beef hash and was sure I was still hungry. So I ate a half cup of Tomato Soup and boy! I now know what that overfill uncomfortable feeling feels like. I almost had to push it today to know what I was capable of, but I know not to make a habit of it. 1 amb052492 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuffaloBill 168 Posted October 7, 2017 I'm on day 2 from surgery and I'm honestly starving... got Protein Shakes and Water down with no problems. Hope my hunger subsides. Main reason I got this surgery was to eliminate how hungry I get after going too the gym.. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am still convinced my sleeve is too big. I was starving the day after surgery. I am still hungry often and it is not f*cking head hunger. It is legitimate hunger. I thought this surgery was supposed to reduce ghrelin production?Oh well, still glad to be down 45 pounds in 8 weeks. 5 Melzy, KarenOR, Ldyvenus and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doreen0716 105 Posted October 7, 2017 When I went to pureed and soft foods after my liquid diet it was way different there's no way I can keep eat more than 2 ounces of food in a sitting I was pretty scared when I was on liquid diet cuz I could drink so much and not feel full but now that there's actual food involved totally differentSent from my SM-J700T using BariatricPal mobile app 2 Ldyvenus and Sophia Duran reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
