Some of it was stomach acid for me. It's kind of leveling out. I've been doing cream Soups, pea Soup, etc and if the have chunks I pulverize them in the blender. You can also add Protein Powder to this and sneak in some Protein at the same time.

I'm 5 days ahead of you and I was hungry at first too but it evens out. I'm eating foods with a bit more body now, will officially be able to move to puree/soft next week but I've been thickening my sops with yogurt now, even adding some meat to my Soups and blending them- and it's helped to feel fuller. It took me a few days. I still get a little hunger some times but I think some of it is head hunger also. I also have heard that it takes a little whole for the hunger hormone to leave out bodies and I think I may have finally experienced this because the past few days I haven't been hungry at all but have to make myself eat to get Protein. It will get better, but do try an acid reducer to see if that helps. Its also been really easy for me to tolerate everything I've eaten so far and sometimes I wonder if that's normal. I'll try something new, wait and expect to feel something bad but don't. I think we may just be lucky lol

I've been walking every day for a little while though the weather is getting cold here so I need to get to a gym soon- that's on my list of priorities lol. Dr told me 6 weeks before I can work out with any intensity but walking was a go from day one. I'm actually eager to start working out- first time in my life I've ever said that LOL

Why am i hungry?

selbradey

DOS 11/19

easy to tolerate food, liquids???

sounds like your sleeve is being a good sleeve, and allowing you to drink what you are supposed to - broth, liquids - doesn't sound like you are overdueing anything

your dr. said ok to - eat yogurt, pudding, Jello et al - couple of spoonfulls

sounds like you are doing fine, don't look for trouble :huh::)

many many people don't start to feel the restriction of the sleeve until they start on solids

take care

speedy recovery

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
