Weird! I mean, I don't have the same "full" feeling as I did before surgery, but I also don't feel hungry. I just weigh and measure.

I still have mental cravings, but I guess I don't feel like I even have my stomach missing. Lol idk what I was expecting. I guess I figured there'd be more of a struggle for the first few days.

My surgery was on Monday 5/22/17 and I can only get down about 2 oz then I'm feeling over full

So weird. Sleeved same day. I'm getting down 64 oz easy.

I'm trying not to go too fast or hard but i am reaching 64 no problem. I'm worried what this will mean going forward.

The only things bothering me is some gas in my chest but walking helps and having my husband pat my back helps.

I'll address this with my doc when I do my follow up, but I wondered about any thoughts before then. Worried I won't feel full ever and will over eat.

Also it's definitely stomach hunger and not head hunger. Stomach rumbling and limited calories.

Thoughts? Anyone else experience this?

My surgery is also tomorrow and with each passing minute I grow more and more nervous.

I did the ER and had no issues!! See if you could do that!

I'm going to be visiting the beach 4 weeks after surgery. I know I'll be coming out of the purée stage and I was trying to think of items that would travel well and fulfill my nutritional needs. I thought about some of those squeeze baby / toddler food items... anything else y'all might recommend?

I'm also going to bring Protein oatmeal, but I hoped for some ideas for stuff I could toss in my beach bag so I didn't have to locate a microwave on the shore or run back to our room.

Thanks!!

I have to say that obviously it's not THAT easy, but you do NOT have to explain yourself. You can simply say I decided to make a healthier lifestyle choice but even then, it's no ones business! THIS IS FOR YOU AND YOUR UNIQUE REASONS.

At least that's what my doctor said. IRL I'm yellow people it's due to my PCOS/infertility issues. Usually shuts people the capital F up.
