yes. In between sometimes. Seeing that I can't eat much. So I use the shakes, cheese (baby bell) low fat milk to up my protein.

Hi all I am on purées I can't eat a lot mayb less than 4 oz but sometimes I am still hungry after about an hr and a half. Is this normal? It's not head hunger I feel hungry. Is this happening to anyone? How many times should I be eating at this purée stage?

target for $19.99 it was more expensive in natures way. Very light not heavy even wen I used 1% lactaid fat free milk. There is also vanilla.

Guess wat guys I found the perfect protein shake light taste gooood I mean good. Doesn't taste like medicine. I opted to buy chocolate. For us who can't stand to drink another shake try this 18grams of protein and it's 100 cal 2 g of fat and 6g of carb. This was recommended by my nutritionist. Here is wat it looks like. Taste like chocolate milk.

u telling me. I try as soon as I wake in the morning but 64oz plus eating is a lot. Bummer.

Hi sleevers can anyone tell me wen do we really start to eat normal without the constant sipping or pain in right side to indicate fullness. I want to know wen I am full but the discomfort it leaves in ur chest and ur side is not cool. Wen will we feel normal again. Still want to eat a small amount but want to feel normal..????

me too. I thought I was alone. Do we just wait continue doing wat we r doing and the weight will come off?

Well I am karen I was sleeved on 8/20 and have lost 17 lbs since surgery. Alittle down now seeing I have not lost anymore. Alittle disappointed that it hasnt been more. I am now on purée and I can drink without sipping but can't eat too much. The most I eat is 600ish cal and still in a stall as they call it. But still hanging in there and love the support here. ????

I am noisy when I eat. Doesn't make a sound if I am not eating. And wen I get with my husband that is also another time my sleeve decides to talk. Omg!! ????

I wish my energy would come back ASAP b4 my husband starts to regret this. I haven't been the same. 18 days out.

Gm all sleevers, was listed tested for gallstones due to my symptoms I have been having. Results will b in on Monday but today I definitely not feeling hot. Pain in my back and after drinking my shake feeling nauseous and like I want to puke. Any one ever had this issue since surgery. Oh well!!!

I know I shouldn't be mad about a stall or not seeing any changes on the scale but I am. I eat or drink at least between 500-600 cal per day and still haven't loss anything. Don't get me wrong I did lose some water weight. Pl tell me wat I am doing wrong. The little I have already lost makes my body look good already especially at my age. But I would like to c more weight come off. Am I too impatient or is my sleeve failing me already? ????????????

u know wat I did to keep my sanity I had a lot of sf popsicles. I also bought a few sf candy just to keep me sane. I don't do it often with the candy only wen I feel off. ????

i am told not to be discouraged the weight will come off. I am on purées less than 600 cals cuz I can hardly eat any more and is in what they call a stall. Be positive I hear I have seen a lot of success pics and stories here. Hang in there. I wax sleeved on 8/20

thnx. I will try that I just hope sooner or later I will soon start to feel like my self again.

thanks Rose310. I think I am also gonna ask my doc for something for acid reflux. Twice did I wake up feeling bloated. I can feel the soreness in my tummy now. I am thinking my tummy wasn't quite ready for purées I may have to step back a notch. If I sleep on my side any side I feel the pressure on my inside I try to sleep on my back but feels like acid reflux mayb my head needs to be elevated somewhat. I am just feeling depressed feeling like this. If there were complications wouldn't I have already known u think? Thanks again.

I am two weeks out and now feeling sore inside. Is anyone else feeling this way. Still having spasms. I would think at two weeks I would be feeling good. But feeling achey in my tummy.

my doc said as long as u r not taking pain meds cuz the meds do make u feel like u r hallucinating ( well-that's how I felt). After 4 days I didn't need it. Check with ur doc.

That is weird that he would say it would stretch. I am two weeks out on purées and can hardly get 3oz in in one sitting.

lol
