I'll be at two weeks on Tuesday. I have no problem drinking anything, I can drink A LOT. I can also eat a lot more than I expected, but I'm being careful not eating until I'm full. I have just yet to feel a restriction.

Normal?

I'm assuming you're still at mush food? I think once you start eating more solid food you'll feel more restriction. That being said, so many people had me so scared about certain foods and so far I can eat almost anything. The ONLY thing I've had a problem with is eating too quickly when I'm not paying attention. It happened again tonight. Taking to a friend as we were playing cards and was eating my crab and a few minutes after finishing, it came right back up. I also don't tolerate creamy Soup, I think for the same reason. They go down too fast and then I feel sweaty and hot and nauseous but bc they're liquids there's really nothing left to throw up as it's already went down the tubes so to speak lol.

Bottom line, you'll learn you best. Take it slowly!

Uhm, are you talking about yourself? Just curious because your profile said you had surgery in 2013 & are 175 😂 God bless!

Yes, I had a sleeve to RNY revision on 2/11/20 due to GERD.

two things going on: 1) nerves were cut during surgery - it takes them awhile to start regenerating 2) I assume you're still on purees. You'll feel more once you move to solid food

Hey there @catwoman7 is spot on in advice. I am one of those people who like you could drink loads right out of the gate. Also while eating I had to stop looking fir the full feeling as my signal. I have learned that my full signal tends to happen 15+ mins after I finish eating. No one told me it could be delayed that long. So I ate by portion size early on. Try that and eat & drink S L O W L Y. It really does make a difference.

      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.
