What is everyone eating in the course of a day. Portions, meals drinks, etc. I'm still a newbie and need some help

It really depends on what stage of post-op you're wondering about.

What stage are you at, and then I can give you an idea of what I was doing/eating during that time frame? ? ?

I'm on soft and mushy. But, I am still hungry after 4oz. of food and don't feel any restriction. What does it feel like. Also, how much were you eating? Just 3 meals a day or more?

I ate 4 meals per day, no snacking in between. Each meal had to consist of 15gr of Protein.

I made each meal last 20 minutes, no sipping/drinking with meals at this stage. You might not feel restriction because the nerves have been cut off, severed, and stapled so your full signal might not happen for several months. I didn't ever "feel" restriction because I was advised to measure my portions and not eat anymore than that portion. So, I underate my sleeve capacity and still do not eat until full or stuffed feeling very often even at 2 years out. It keeps my calories in check and helps me maintain my weight.

Are you weighing or actually measuring your food with measuring cups? I always measured with cups because my stomach doesn't recognize weight of foods, it holds by volume.

As for being hungry, are you taking Prilosec, Nexium, Prevacid or some other PPI(proton pump inhibitor)? If not, you could be experiencing false hunger due to acid overproduction. I had the same thing happen, went on Prilosec 20mg once a day, and my hunger was resolved.

If the food is extremely mushy, or saucy, you won't feel great restriction as those foods are pretty "slider" foods and go through quickly. If you are taking longer than 20-30 minutes to eat, the food is moving out as you are eating so you won't feel full.

Make sure you're drinking plenty of clear fluids, and also it really depends on what you are eating during the mushy phase. Carby foods definitely can increase hunger.

All of this takes time, and once you get to more solid consistency foods, the more restriction you'll feel.
