I was sleeved only 1 week ago. My doc allows protein shakes, broths Greek yogurt, sugar free apple sauce and even cottage cheese! I am having absolutely no problem getting my protein and liquids in, but I don't feel restriction hardly at all! And I'm hungry! It's more than head hunger. I actually do get hungry. What's wrong with me?!

You won't feel real restriction until you are at the stage where you can eat dense protein- soft food stage and beyond. As for feeling hungry- it might be stomach acid. Ask your doctor about what kind of antacid you can/should take.

Nothing! You are fine- I was hungry and could eat it all UNTIL I was able to eat solid protein- chicken and steak and then even a tiny bit made me feel stuffed!

So hang on- you just need solid protein to feel the restriction. The soft food will "slide" right threw your pyloric valve. The solid protein will cause it to close and you will feel the restriction.

Thank you! I'm feeling like a freak. Did you still lose? I mean, I'm not having a ton of calories, but I am having more than I thought I'd be able to (probably around 800) being only a week out.

everything slides thru during the liquid stage....it really feels tighter once you start moredense protein

Ok so I am having the same problem to the point that a friend of mine who studied bariatrics and is an RN told me that eating eggs and soft mushy foods would not hurt me. I am 1 week post op and while I am sure some of you will criticize me I am able to tolerate food which seems weird to me. I am eating healthy (not junk), but now a different RN has me freaked out that this may stretch my stomach out if I am eating to soon. I know some will say follow advice and you shouldn't have done this if you weren't ready but please be respectful. I am eating healthy and exercising a ton and have lost weight. I am just concerned that I never feel full and feel like I can eat small amounts quite frequently. HELP!

Thats good how MUCH have u lost a week out nd some people bodies r extremely diff nd long as its healthy u ok. But with me I had hard time going to the restroom.

The full liquid and puréed stage are to allow your stomach to heal and to nourish your body. they go through easy and are easy on your healing tummy. I was hungry sometimes too. I was also afraid because I felt no restriction either until now. I'm just starting the soft protein stage at 6 weeks out. It's very different and I fill up fast. So fast in fact that I've been getting too full because its new to me. Soups and most purées went down with no problems. Now I'm really having to slow down, chew well, and watch what I'm doing. I've been uncomfortable a few times until I figured this out. So allow yourself to heal because it gets better. I was beginning to think I had made a mistake, but now I understand the power of the sleeve. . I'm liking this a lot better.

You will start to feel full once u ear solid food.. I am now on mushies... chicken ..fish meatballs..blah blah blah. While my mind wanta to eat more I can only eat a max of 1/2cup per meal. Its usually not even that much... but when I did im full. Im eating 3 small meals a day and 1 Protein shake. Im only 3.5 weeks out and when I was a week or 2 I felt the same thing as you. Take it easy though and dont rush. Make eggs be the most sold thing u eat. Good luck!

Wow I'm glad I read this!!! I was beginning to panic!
