So I was wondering.....

I haven't had but 1.2cc of fill and I'm hungry after 3 hours, but it seems that most of what I eat gets stuck. Do I need a fill or will that make the PBing worse?

I imagine it would make the PBing worse. I would say to make sure that you are chewing everything into absolute mush before swallowing it, and make sure that you take small bites (sometimes even if it's mush if you swallow too much at once, it can cause problems). Perhaps if you can get a little bit more in per meal you wont be hungry so quickly. And it may actually be that you need a slight unfill so that things don't get stuck. Also, make sure you are getting in your protien, as that stuff will keep you not hungry the longest.

The other thing I would say is to make sure you are really hungry. I say this because it's a personal struggle that I have, wanting to snack rather than actually being hungry and needing to eat something.

I eat about every 3 hours and I've never really considered it a problem. If you eat 3 small meals and 2 Snacks as my nutritionist recommended you have to eat every 3 hours to fit it all in.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
