Hi all....I was sleeved on 1/21/13. I'm feeling very frustrated right now. I feel like I can eat too much. I'm on the pureed food stage and for breakfast I can eat 8oz of cream of wheat. For lunch I can eat 8oz of soup and for dinner 8oz of retried beans. I could def eat more if I wanted to. I'm ALWAYS hungry!!!!!!! I'm so disappointed with this surgery right now. Then I hear ppl say they can only eat 2oz of food and they are stuffed it makes me want to cry. It seems like an hour after I eat...I get hungry again. Has this happened to anyone else? I just don't understand it and I'm getting really depressed at this point

Buddy' date=' I have felt the same and I am 3 months out. When you get to solid stage, there will be some respite in hunger. But do measure your food and do not eat egg yolk.[/quote']

Why not eat egg yolk I'm curious ?

I had my sleeve on 01/24/2013. I too have thought I could "eat" too much. Im still in full liquid stage. I did have a soft scrambled egg omelet last night using two eggs but was only able to eat about half. It was way more filling than just my applesauce or soups. I have been buying the gerber babyfood applesauce and I reuse the little plastic bowls it comes in to "measure" my portions. I fill them with lowfat cottage cheese and take them to school with me (Im in college) along with my protien shake in my lunchbox...........our surgery dates are so close we need to keep up with each other Good luck we will be just fine.

Angelamarie, except for the fact that I was sleeved on 1/23, it could have been me writing your posts. I have been sooo hungry.

I can't express how much I appreciate Jenny and the others who have responded to this discussion.....you have most likely saved my sanity. I was beginning to wonder if I had made the biggest mistake of my life.

our surgeries were only a day apart

Why not eat egg yolk I'm curious ?

Yes, why not? I have scrambled eggs a couple times a week.

If I'm going to eat an egg, I'm going to eat the whole egg!!

Me too!

If I am correct, it contains too much fat. You can have as many egg whites as you like but only 1 egg yolk per day safely.

I'd rather have one egg than as many egg whites I can eat!

Everyone's different yeah?

Is this something your doc told you?

Mine is of the opinion that I am not on a diet any longer so I shouldn't follow crazy diet rules. I eat eggs quite often. One egg is not enough calories or fat to put you over your daily limits. Two isn't either. They are a healthy food from the yolk to the white.

Avoiding fats in Cookies makes total sense when trying to lose weight. Avoiding an egg....that just does not compute with me

Thanks Iggy. I did not want to give up my 2 egg scramble with feta cheese, dill and fourS penzy spice. Two turkey links on the side. Yum!

Disclaimer Fiddleman is 7 months out!!!

Don't get any crazy ideas that you can do this now!!

Oh and that sounds good !!

My fav breakfast is red wine and jelly bellies....zero fat

But I suppose an egg will do heh heh

I think it's an outdated notion that eggs cause your cholesterol to go up, too much fat, etc. That was a big thing back in the 80s. Current medical knowledge is you can eat an egg or two every day and be fine. Having said that, eggs sit like a rock in my stomach now.

I was sleeved 1/9 and I can eat more than normal...I cannot eat breads at all but I agree this is stupid and.I don't know if it was worth it...I do the protein shakes and stuff still and I'm hungry if I don't eat every 3 hrs. Granted I don't eat the amount I use too. I started at 238 and now 223 so I haven't lost nearly as much as anyone else I have heard....maybe I should join the no weightloss forum ....hang in there your not alone!

Good job at eating every 3 hours. It keeps hunger at bay and, I believe, is a good way to keep the BMR in optimal shape during waking hours. No insulin crashes either. Ever.
