Hi Everyone,

I was sleeved 8/21. I'm on full liquids until 9/11, then I go on puree.

About an hour ago I downed a SF pudding in about 4 bites. I'm quite satisfied, but it was mindless eating. I'm working really hard on that behavoir, so that's not what I need advice about.

I'm having no side affects from the pudding. I also can drink pretty quickly now too. I am not on any PPI's and have no acid.

I KNOW this is everyone's opinion only. I go for my post-op check on thursday & I'll ask.

My question is: anyone else like this? Heck, I'm not complaining becuase it sounds like some of you are having a hard time getting all your fluids & Proteins in and I feel bad for you guys. I'm pretty sure once I start on solid food it won't be as easy. LT has said in a couple posts that liquids don't stay in the sleeve long so that's why those of us on liquids don't feel full. I'm just suprised at how quickly I can eat/drink my liquids.

**i also respectfully ask that posters not bash other people's answers. I want everyone to feel safe in answering me.

Thanks!!

I try to eat slow but I barely do.

I know if I eat too fast I can very easily overeat... And then I don't feel good

You will eat slower when you start fluids, it is a lot harder to move the food through the sleeve. Use that time when you have to eat slow to retrain your eating habits.

I meant solid food. Sorry

I'm not like that...but their have been moments when I wanted to...and when I did...ooops!!!

Yeah, I haven't gotten the opps feeling. But like Zino said, this is the time to retrain my brain, so I kinda wish that I DID have that negative feedback from my body.

Thanks!

I know they say that Bougie size doesn't matter :wub: no pun meant, well maybe just a little...LOL but what size did Dr. use on you?

I have no idea what size he used. i'll ask on Thursday. :-)

I am just short of 6months out, things like pudding have always gone down super easy from the very beginning. I am still working on eating slow, some days it is still hard to remember, and soft things like pudding, jello and yougurt are the hardest to go slowly on.

I have a hard time eating and drinking. I feel full all the time, I get that oops feeling drinking water, eating jello even when I sip and take small bites. I am 2 wks post op and I don't think I getting enough protein or fluids.

I was sleeved on the same day as you and I can eat anything ( chewed well) without difficulties, oops did I say that.

I seem to be the same as msdimples! I am miserable with just my water and isopure. I realize this is only day three post-op, but I keep thinking i should actualyl want to try the jello and maybe lick a popsicle, but I never even want anything. I have also had issues with my liquid hydrocodone and truly hope any discomfort goes away quickly so I can move away from that!!!

Gosh, it's just so weird how everyone responds differently to this surgery!

You are allowed chewed food? Wow! Not me. Still have about 3-4 weeks until I can have solids. And your sleeve responds ok? Interesting!

Ms Dimples & Usadukes,

At the 3rd day, I still wasn't getting enough liquids & I felt like crap. The 4th day onward was better, but I did have to start forcing myself to drink because universally I read on here that people felt worse when they didn't get enough fliuds.

I'm trying hard cause I don't want to end up back in the hospital.
