I hope this is me too! I'm 3 weeks out and feel like I can eat a lot. But it's only the meat that makes me feel full. Also Protein shakes fill me up. But I've been eating avocado and eggs, ricotta bake, and I feel like I'm hungry away. just had maybe a little OVER half a cup of ground turkey with lemon and cilantro and feel perfectly satisfied. I need to start measuring I guess. Years of out of control portions really mess with you.
At one month I was still on mushies,, I was lucky to get in 4 tlbs full of food if that.
I know, a lot of people can't eat much that early out. Strangely, I kinda' felt disappointed that I wasn't experiencing some of the same problems other newly sleeved people were! (now I am thankful!)
I thought maybe my Dr. didn't make my sleeve small enough/right, lol. I've found out he did dense protein/real food = restriction lol
From the beginning I was able to get all of my Water in, and pureed food just went right through me, between the diarrhea and lacking nutrients/+hunger I progressed myself to softer meats and foods faster and it was good for me. I've had zero issues mainly because I listen to my body/sleeve and with all of the knowledge I've gained here nothing came as a surprise! I guess I didn't have any swelling at all! As of today I am down 24 lbs. post op/ 40 lbs. w/pre op diet, and I feel GREAT! -
I am scheduled April 7 and so excited/scared/nervous! I'm on the Clear Liquids and trying to stay super hydrated so they don't have to overpoke me to get an IV in. I'm excited to see everyone's progress!!
