I can so identify with you. I posted the same question after my sleeve. (I was sleeved two weeks ago today). I kept reading and hearing people in my support group say how they couldn't even finish the 1/4 cup of liquid broth. I was starving on my ten day post op liquid diet. I am now on a full liquid for one week (cottage cheese, yogurt) and I'm feeling much better. I still can devour my 1/4 cup rations in two minutes without any pain or issues and haven't felt that full feeling yet, but I dealing well with it. The folks on this site have been great, and I've been reassured I'll feel the fullness when I start eating normal food. I had read somewhere, and I can't recall, that maybe my stomach is still just numb from the surgery and that's why I don't get that ful feeling and feel hungry? Sounds like a good reason to me, so I'm sticking by it! I love your line about demanding a refund You are funny!!!!! Keep up the humor and we will get through this.

I am so with you on this. I had my post office visit today with my doctor. it has only been nine days since my surgery (July 16) but I have been absolutely starving. I appreciate all the posts when I asked about hunger a few days ago, and I appreciate the fact that it is because I'm on liquids. But I never suspected I would be this starved! Today when I told my doctor and staff about starving they were surprised. He said he never had anyone complain about that. My nutritionist was floored that I could gulp down by 4 oz of clear broth without any difficulty. Folks on this wonderful forum have assured me that once I'm eating regular food that my stomach will fill up. I got the cottage cheese and yogurt pass today and I hope that helps fill my sleeve. Good luck

Don't worry. Is just because you're on liquids. once you start solids you will feel it.

I am rooting for you! I am scheduled for Tuesday, July 16th. It will be a transforming summer for us

Happy Fourth of July 2013! I have only 12 more days to my surgery and my new "independence"! I am very excited and nervous. Look forward to participating in this online support group.
