Patrick powers 41 Posted November 19, 2017 Also sleeved Monday I feel like fluids I could suck down a solid 4-8 ounces in one shot. Protein has been a struggle, fills me up incredibly quickly. So I've been cutting down on many of my clears to go full effort on protein. I get really full and some pain in my stomach (usually short-lived lasts for 1-5 minutes max ) Then I just back off consuming anything for a good 45- hour and try again. I probably got close to 40g/day of protein the last 2 days, think I'm on track for 60g today which is right where I wanna beI wish I could say the liquids or Proteins fill me up. Lol..i seem to be able to drink all I wantSent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Apple203 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoCalNana 3 Posted November 20, 2017 A couple of things I learned after my surgery on 8/24/17...Sometimes, the hunger pains aren’t actually from hunger, but from thirst. Make sure you are getting enough Clear Liquids, but take small sips over a period of time, not big swallows. That hurts! Try to remember, your surgeon removed 80 percent of your stomach through a very small incision, so pain is normal. Really normal. I had more than a few “What the heck was I thinking?” moments for the first few weeks after surgery. Why did I even do this? My recovery was hampered by an extended hospital stay and extreme blood loss resulting in transfusions and major weakness and fatigue. Also, don’t worry if you can’t get all your food in right away. You’ll be able to eventually. Take baby steps! More important to get your liquid in at first. I’m three months out now and although I get full super quickly, I feel great and am pretty much eating a regular diet. It’s definitely a process.Good luck, everyone! You’ve got this!
