For the first time since my surgery, I feel hungry right now. Today, I've eaten roughly what I have been eating the last few days, keeping my Protein and fluids up, but right now I'm just downright super hungry. I've waited to make sure it wasn't head hunger, and it's pretty legit. I'm sure a small Protein meal will do away with it, but it's a "new" feeling post surgery. Has anyone experienced this at all?

I've definitely had "omg i'm starving" hunger feelings, but 4 oz of protein nipped that in the bud. So thankful that I don't need a huge meal to feel full anymore. Let us know how you feel after you have a little protein

I will! How many calories are you taking in per day? I feel like I was high today at around 700 (I've met my protein goals), but still hungry. Blerg.

My estimate for the rest of the day, including dinner, is about 850. Here's a pic of my food diary from today!

So, as it turns out, I made some chicken with veggies in tikka masala sauce, and I measured out my 4oz and got all excited, dug in... and ate ONE PIECE of chicken. Like, three bites. FULL. Loving this wacky weight loss journey

Had a couple spoons of Peanut Butter and went to bed early. Woke up feeling healthy and happy.

I just went to my soft foods class yesterday and I was surprised they had Peanut Butter on the "no" list - even for soft foods. They said it is too sticky and get stuck. In the past couple weeks, I have used the powdered peanut butter and mixed it with fairlife milk to give me the peanut butter fix. It is not as sticky as real peanut butter, and did not give me any issues thankfully. You can also mix the powder in about anything to get the fix. The nutritionist recommended the powder as well. My wife made sugar free vanilla pudding and put some of the peanut butter powder in it - it came out like peanut butter pudding - very yummy!

Is this an app you are using or a website for tracking?

It's both! That's MyFitnessPal--there's both an app and a web-based version.

Thanks. I am finding the need to track my Protein intake now that I am transitioning to soft foods and not so easy to just add up the Premiere Proteins for the day through my drinking app.

Absolutely--even the basic version shows you the macros of the food that you're logging. You can scan barcodes easily, and it's just a really great tool. They offer challenges and coupons, and it's another really great support system community over there as well.

My Fitness Pal - allows you to easily track food/drink/excercise - put out there by UnderAmour. It is free, or you can pay $9/month for premium (or $99/year).

Hey everyone I got sleeved 11/21 and I'm about 16 days post op. So far it's going good .. just started the soft foods stage. I'm down 25 pounds since surgery

[Tanyatata 28]

Me weight is stalling a bit but I'm not too worried about it. Still on pureed food until next Wednesday and I'm sure I'll see the scale move even more once I'm back on soft solid foods. Feeling pretty good other than some nausea and dizziness last night. Had a couple spoons of Peanut Butter and went to bed early. Woke up feeling healthy and happy.
Cheers!
