A little freaked out that I was just able to consume an entire cup of sugar free jello pudding in 7 minutes this close to my surgery date! I felt full when I finished but not even remotely uncomfortable, is it due to the consistency that I was able to consume that much? Since starting on yogurt, pudding, soups on Sunday (6 days post-op) I have had an actual feeling of hunger. I am just over-worrying about this whole process and maybe it won't work for me! I see my surgeon on Friday for staple removals and will ask then, but in the meantime can anyone else share a similar story from their experience?

Does your surgeon allow sf pudding that close to surgery?

You may be able to do that now, but after your surgery you will not be able to consume pudding until week 3 and even then you will not be able to eat it that quick.

I think she is post op.

We are all different. Now you know why they call it "slider" food. It slides right by the sleeve. And here's something to think about, just because you can eat something doesn't mean you should. You're fresh out of surgery....don't push your limits. It's natural to want to know where the boundary is....it will become apparent as soon as you start on solid food again. The full feeling will come very quickly.

I was allowed pudding week 1 post op but I never attempted a full cup. My suggestion would be to only eat half for awhile even if you CAN eat a full cup. No reason to push to your limit, especially if you don't want it. Pudding is not very nutritious unless you are adding protein powder, so save the room you have for something you need.

I was given pudding in the hospital. I could easy a lot more of that than other foods.

The issue is to eat till you dont feel hunger not till you are full. I never ate to my max because I never felt the urge to - why bother making your stomach full and stretching it all over again?

Yes, I could eat a whole cup of pudding as well. I think it's because of the consistency. I am now on soft foods and had mashed fish and broccoli the other day and had to take time and couldn't eat very much.

Don't worry. Just go slow.

One week post op I was eating sf pudding also. I still eat a cup it helps with my BM. Almost 1month post op.

Just keep in mind that is 30-60 less calories a day you can use to get in protein rich food. When I was allowed pudding I would have 1/8c at a time and I made it myself with skim milk and unflavored protein powder.

I'm all about most bang for my buck.
