Have you tried adding eggs or puréed veggies. That might help.

So, there's hunger and there's 'head hunger'. At 17 days, you likely aren't having real hunger with what you're consuming...that's more than I was able to take it 3 weeks post-op. Head hunger is HARD to deal with, you have to find other things to occupy you when you're feeling it. Go for a walk, do something, anything but eat...
You'll start feeling the restriction of your sleeve once you're on solids, then you won't have to wonder if you're truly hungry or just fighting your head. When the restriction hits, there's no wondering if you should eat more or not!

I don't know whether it's true, but I have read that ghrelin, the hunger hormone can stay in your system for up to 30 days after the surgery.
However, i could find no evidence that ghrelin, an amino acid, is fat soluble and thus remains in the system after the stomache is removed. In fact, I can't find anything at all in scientific literature to support that claim that is made on this forum.
Perhaps it is the incision healing that is causing a pain similar to hunger? At only 17 days, my surgeon's plan still has me consuming full liquids only and only making the transition to more substantive foods a few weeks later.

I will definitely try Beans, I feel like dairy is so high in calories in general. I guess I'm so worried about not losing that I don't want to eat to many calories. The beans with a bit of cheese and sour cream sound amazing though! Doing that tomorrow for sure! Thank you! Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App
