Ok, I am in agreement that the right after surgery SUCKS big time, but I have some concerns. First, Other than incision pain, I feel no different. I still have hunger pains, my stomach growls, I want food so badly. I have no problem with the protein shakes, other than they don't taste that great, they do not make me sick. In fact nothing makes me sick. 2.) I feel like I could eat anything. I mean like real food. I have not tried yet, but I have had very thin mashed potatoes and it was no problem at all. I quit eating after a cup but really felt like i could eat more. Is this normal? I find myself asking, did he really take my stomach or did I just pay all that money for him to make some cuts on my stomach to make me think he did. I know that sounds crazy, but I am really freaking out right now. My instructions say I should only be able to get in 2-3 oz of full liquids. However I have been drinking those campbells soup at hand soups and they are 10 3/4 oz's. I can drink the whole thing with no problem. I really dont have to take small sips ether. I don't gulp but normal swallows don't bother me. I have yet to feel "FULL".

I know this sounds strange to complain about, but so many other people complain about nausea and not being able to get much liquid in which would also suck, but at least they know there sleeve is working. I have no idea.

Has anyone else had these issues. I just feel like I am going through the pain of surgery and now extreme hunger pain for nothing. HELP!!!

I hate to say this but every time I see someone on these boards who is having problems and not feeling well, it seems their doctor or nut already has them on full or mushies too early in the process. I know there are a lot of people who started full liquids or mushies with no problem too, but you know everyone is different.

My doctor specifically said to only have clears for the first 10 days because up to 2 weeks is the risk for a leak along the staple line....

Tiff always give good advice and obvioulsly with where she is in her weight loss/maintaining...she is doing the right thing..

I would personally suggest to stay away from canned, purreed, salty foods this early out and stick to broth. I used powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken soup and I really found it gentle and easy on the stomach.

Good Luck, it will get better.

Hi.

No your tummy tell's you when it has had enough, just like it used to, but if you push another bite you may or may not upchuck. I found that as time went on I naturally knew when to stop. It also depends a lot on what you just ate. Everyone seems different.

I haven't done it in a long time just in the early days it happened only twice.

For me it initially was just me getting used to my new stomach My brain didn't catch up to my new stomach. Old habits die hard I guess.

Please don't get frightened. I have no regrets to this day.

My best,

Will

If you do have to be sick from eating too much, is it the same as being sick because you are actually sick? Do you go through the sweats, shakes

and all that working up to actually being sick?

I was told dumping controls Gastric bypass folks. This would definitely control me! I hate throwing up and would probably become a hermit if it ever

happened to me publicly. I've swallowed my pride and lived with be the fat one in the room. I will not be the one who pukes.
