Certain foods are “sliders” where they pass through to the small intestine quickly. I find most fruits slide through me fairly easily, but I do not know if everyone has the same list of sliders or if it’s more individual. The food that fills me up the fastest and seems to keep me feeling full for at least an hour or two is raw cucumber. Fortunately I love them plain (or with a little salt).
Another thing to consider is did you drink or have and liquids right before or after you ate? Liquids will aid in flushing out your stomach faster so it’s necessary to avoid drinks while and after eating for at least 30 minutes (some say 30 minutes before too which makes sense).
Be careful with any foods you find to be “sliders” as you will not fill up and will be capable of eating too much. The surgery is only an aid to get you started on a healthier lifestyle, but you still have to work at making good choices. Really take advantage of these early months to learn new habits, it will be worth it. Don’t worry about how much you ate, you didn’t ruin anything, you learned something about your new stomach. There will be a lot more of that learning process as you go along and there’s a lot of great people and advice on here who will be happy to help you.

      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.
