I felt the same way and had to realize getting sleeved does not cure craving.

That is normal. .liquids go through you..thats why you have to make sure you get alot ..I get a lil hunger feeling but once I have a few sips of broth im done

Cravings are a normal part of human beings, with or without WLS. Heck, I was craving Pringles 2 days post-op! However, I'm set on having a textbook recovery so I've followed every rule from pre-op on.

Speaking of, your second question about what you ate in one sitting being okay? How long was your sitting? Beyond that, has your doctor/nutritionist allowed those foods on your plan? I've been allowed SF popsicles since the clear liquid stage, but am not ready for Jell-O. Essentially, we have to remember that our stomach is healing right now - even if we think we can handle something, or even if we DO handle something, it may not be best to progress through the food phases until your doctor/NUT gives the okay!

when you start with thicker food, you will get the full feeling. The feeling may or may not be what you are used to. I had it one time so far and didn't realize it at first, but it was enough to make me quit eating what I was and I did get nauseous, but didn't vomit. Now I know what it feels like.
