So it sound like you are in the purée stage?

I've tried meat and my stomach was fine maybe I should eat more to be full

Well good girl you knew what I was going to say!!

Ok let's talk meat, dense Protein. You will not stay full long lf you don't eat dense protein! You need to start getting some of your nourishment from that and not the shakes! Don't get me wrong I love the shakes have one every morning...

I know purée meat sounds gross I gave In and did it and it changed everything, you can do a little chicken and gravy and lightly blend it... But yogurts and most of that stuff you are eating will leave you hungry sooner!

You do not know the difference between acid and hunger. A stomach grumbles because the acid bubbles up in the empty space. When you have an excess of acid in a tiny sleeve, the SAME thing happens. It triggers the "I'm hungry and must eat" response that we learn early in life.

So the first thing is ALWAYS to either check that your PPI is working (we see a lot of folks on Prevacid need to change to something else) or to start on one if you aren't on it.

From there, fiddle with your diet. If you're on purees, you shouldn't be feeling hunger. It's common to suffer head hunger and acid problems in liquids, but not once you're on actual food.

Cheri has some good points, hopefully you are taking a ppi. I was lucky and don't have that issue of acid mimicking hunger but a lot do.

I know that when I eat an egg, like a scrambled egg it seems to stay with me longer.

I have found that i am a special case as all Protein Shakes make me throw up. And yes i've tried all kinds. plant, eggwhite, ect. I have had to go to soft solids before i really should have i'm actually 9 weeks out now so it's easier but i will find recipe's for sleeve patients like chicken salad or turkey tacos. even seafood salad. You make all the ingredients and then stick in a food processor it still tastes the same has the same Protein benefits just is in a baby food consistency.

Don't feel weird about the Protein Shakes, I was like that too. They would make me feel so freaking BAD. I have found that I can drink the prepared ready to drink protein and be just fine, but that is more expensive. I gotta do what I gotta do though.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
