Hi I'm 2 weeks out and I'm on my soft phase and I feel like I can still eat quite a bit. I've read people have 2 or 3 bites and they are full. I can eat half a can of tuna and some applesauce and I've yet to get that "full" feeling. Is this normal?

I was able to eat more than a couple bites, more like you are talking. Think about it. How much could you eat before? Did a half a can of tuna and a little applesauce do it for you before? I am about 5 months out and eating less than a cup a sitting, depends on what it is, but I do feel very full. Everyone is different so only time will tell.

Very true! I guess I just thought I would've had more restriction. Thanks

I am 15 days as well. I can eat half a cup of runny Soup, but less of a more dense purée like tuna salad. Also if I make one scrambled egg with 2 tbs of skim milk I can only eat about 2/3 of it. I some times have a Protein Shake in the afternoons for a snack but it takes me about an hour or more to finish it. I thought this was all ok. I see the dietician next Monday.

Your eating a lot less than me. I eat about 1/4 cup of tuna and I still feel hungry. I also do the Protein Shake as a snack but still don't feel full

You will probably notice more restriction when you start more dense Proteins.

I sure hope so. I don't want to push it to the point I get sick. So I just stop and I still feel hunger throughout the day :(

      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? 🤷‍♀️
