I was the same when I was on the liquid stage, but once I started to eat real food, my restriction grew and I felt full. So don't worry it's normal. Liquid passes quickly and doesn't sit on your stomach too long.

I was the same way I had no problems with my fluids but I didn't feel hungry but that went away about the second week I started feeling hunger a little bit couldn't wait to get to the primary stage by week 3 but now that I'm on solid foods I have to eat about 6 times a day cuz I can only eat maybe five or six bites and stuff at the most a half a cup at a time

I'm one week out and two medicine cups and I'm full! It takes me all day to get 30 ounces of Protein Drink in. I have a very hard time with water I don't like it much. I do crystal lite. Protein Drinks are not my fav. I drink 1/2 cup of beef broth for something different. That takes me a while but goes down better.

Ok I just hit one month on Thursday. Water and shakes were easy peasy. Then when i was started on foods - woah! Such a difference. You will feel it. In your chest. Between your boobs. And I’m here to tell you the first inkling if full- stop! Otherwise it’s an uncomfortable pain like none other. I can’t eat much either so it’s a slow process of tiny bites ... lots of chewing ... and waiting between. I still drink shakes in the morning 🤷🏼‍♀️

I started to really feel restriction when I started my soft solids and more so when I started regular foods. It will kick in!

I agree, the pain on chest in between breasts was horrible, I still have trouble with eating Bc I tend to feel like I can take one bite and when I do I suffer Bc I’m over stuffed. I have to work on that.

I'm with you. One week out today and having the same issues. The warm broth does go down much better.

I am going through the same thing! I have never felt a feeling of fullness! I have no problem getting fluids in and i was sleeved on 10/16/17. Im hoping that this will change when we get to solids! Im just trying to make sure i get my required fluids in and thats it! Im thankful but it is a little different then what i was expecting!

      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.
