Curious to hear about your post op eating habits. I am 5 Months out and I still eat very little but just recently have started to experience a greater level of hunger. I haven’t over eaten at all but am worried that my sleeve is stretching

I am six months out and can eat more than just last month but i started working out pretty heavily which can stimulate appetite also

It is highly unlikely that it has stretched (ask for diagnostics if really worried) most likely the swelling from surgery is gone which leaves more room for food. Some one please correct me if i am wrong...

Also beware of slider foods with offer no resistance in the new stomach which leaves you hungrier quicker. They can also lead to higher than expected kcal counts . For me its yogurt nuts and seeds. Seemingly healthy right except 28-30g of nuts are 160-190 kcals!

One year out here. You will notice you can increasingly eat more, but if you get the Protein first and then whatever side, you should get the full signal and be able to stop.

My first few months I was kind of terrified because I could eat so little. But now I’m a happy medium.

Tonight i went to sushi and had 3 pieces of wife’s roll and 5 slices of sashimi and feel just right.

      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.
