I'm feeling great! My surgery was 9/19, the day after you! So far, I've had no problems! As long as I eat enough protein, I do not get hungry. If I do sometimes I get a spoonful of the new whipped jiffy peanut butter and that really helps!! Also laughing cow cheese wedges are great and only 35 calories a wedge. One normally does the trick for me! I'm glad you are doing well! I'm from PA! Where are you from?

Great!! I'm from MA! I also use the laughing cow cheese for snack, and help me too...Refried Beans, cheese, tuna, chicken, chickpeas, Greek yogurt, and Protein shakes (I just can take one per day)!.. I don't know yet when I'm full when I eat, I just measure my food..and you?

I have found when I'm too full I start to hiccup!! I thought that was weird but I've read that can be normal! I, too, eat tuna, chicken, yogurt, scrambled eggs with a half if slice of cheese , cottage cheese and I mix no sugar added jelly and protein shakes which sometimes I add baby food fruit to it to give it a better flavor! Sometimes it's harder for me when I'm making lunch for my children, I have 4 year old twins and a 2 year old. But we have all really turned our eating around, making healthier choices. And they don't even realize it! My husband is even losing weight! So that's good! I'm happy for you! My weight as of my surgery day was 320 today was 300! I almost into the 200's again and that will be awesome!

I was September 17th. Started out at 250 now I am 226. I have tolerated all foods I have tried so far. But hunger seems to be an issue with me lately. Glad to see y'all are doing well. I am from Orange,Tx.

That's awesome! Where are you from?

I'm a Brit from the good ol' United Kingdom. :)

I was sleeved on the 19th. I am down 24 pounds. I have found when I find myself getting hungry all the time usually a glass of crystal light helps. I think a lot of it is thirst.

I agree, I do try and get something to drink, as well! Were you told to no longer drink caffeine? I was!

No, I drink a cup of coffee in the morning and iced tea occasionally.
