Hey

I feel the exact same! I’m still on full liquid and even just a few sips of a Protein Shake I get this full feeling with a tight knot behind my chest bone!! Very annoying.

I guess it’s just the process while we get used to our new stomachs. But your not alone…

xx

It’s normal to feel pain. It’s your stomach saying it’s full
remember your readjusting your stomach. I had my operation on July 4th so only recently on purées also

I had my surgery on the 1st. Everything has been going fine and my doc moved me to purees.

Since I moved to purees its been tough to get more then 2 -3 spoons in without getting this ball in my chest feeling.

Also I don't know if I'm doing to much (bending down, picking things up) but my stomach (inside) just feels off.

Sorry for the rant just wanted to see if anyone else is feeling the same

I start purees on Thursday. So far I've been sticking with Premier Protein shakes, broth, Water with Gatorade zero powder.

Same. Mine was like only eat this. It helps, it takes the guessing and anxiety out of the mix. I'm now down 22 lbs

My doctor is one of the strictest I’ve heard about. I haven’t been allowed anything but Protein Shakes and Water for 2 weeks pre-op and 2 weeks post-op. It has been worth it to see my weight come off. I had surgery July 1 and have lost 15 lbs since (33 lbs total). I’m glad he’s so rigid because I haven’t had to guess at what kind of food or shakes to get. He even told me the brand names. Any sign of non compliance and I was out of the program. My 10 day follow-up was today (since 10 days was over the weekend). He told me I’m doing better and lost more than expected. I get to start on cottage cheese, eggs, and yogurt this Friday.
All of this to say I highly recommend you following EXACTLY what the doctor says. It’s not the first time for them. They know what works. Don’t sabotage yourself before you even get started!! Good luck and best wishes

Bone broth has been my lifesaver. Delicious and the warm Water really helps calm the hunger

During pre op I craved Mexican and so I found a local spot that served tortilla Soup. I would drink the broth and it helped with the craving .

My surgeon allowed 2 cups a day.But I'm a hard core coffee drinker (think like 2 pots a day), so I decided to quit coffee during pre op. It wasn't pleasant lol but I don't want anything to hurt my weight loss.

Since surgery , I definitely feel like I have more energy (could be all the protein), and I've learned that what I enjoyed a lot about coffee was the habit of drinking a warm cup of liquid...so I started subbing with some peppermint/chai/chamomile tea.

liquids are going down.thw first 1-2 days I could only get one Protein Shake in and some sips of Water. Now I am meeting my daily goal of Protein 60g.

Pro tip: only drink while sitting up. I'd you lay down it will be painful
