I'm 5 days post up. I'm just wondering how much Soup should I be eating in a sitting? I'm afraid I can eat too much. I usually have half a cup and I'm fine. Not stuffed but just good. Tonight I had egg drop and had almost a cup! Is this normal or am doing something wrong? Hunger has been hitting me and I want to eat more then I did the first few days :( I'm also able to get it down rather fast. I'm afraid this isn't the way things should be?

My experience was that if it was thin liquid, I can pretty much "eat" as much of it as I want. I'm assuming this is because it more or less just goes through my stomach. When the consistancy of what I'm eating approaches solid, my tolerance for how much I can have goes down. It takes me at least a half hour to eat 2 oz. of steamed salmon and I'm like... FULL.

You are doing fine! I was thinking and doing the same thing as you post op and still managed to lose 20lbs in two Weeks and I was drinking a lot so I wouldn't be too concerned about it. Plus I always felt hungry and wanted to cheat so bad!!! you should be able to drink as much as you like because my Dr said it just goes straight thru you. If its an ongoing concern you should call your Dr and let him know your issues. Hope this helped God bless you and your journey!

Thank you guys so much! I think I'm just starting to worry over every little thing lol. I can't wait to eat more solid food so I can really be able to judge restriction. It's hard at this point. I thought it was because they were just liquids also but needed some reassurance lol. I noticed I had a bit thicker Soup yesterday and I felt a little more full then with say a broth like soup. Thanks again everyone!!

I was sleeved on the 14th and I've been feeling the same way with my full liquid diet. I can't wait to get to the puréed stage. I've read this is the stage when you "feel full" . This full liquid diet still leaves me kinda hungry

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
