Sleeved on 10-23..hunger or...?

I'm not like wicked full getting in all my Proteins and Water and fluids... Is this going to be a problem when I move to puréed foods? Am I going to actually feel full?

Oh yah. Like on so little you'll then be worrying about "will I ever be able to eat more than a bird?"

liquids don't make us feel full. The purées and solids go thunk.

LOL.....I have been wondering the same thing. This is the first day I actually got all my Proteins in and I could still drink more. I was starting to wonder if I'll ever full. But, I also haven't been hungry or thirsty which is the only reason I haven't been getting my liquid in.

You will get full! Solid Proteins like fish or chicken will definitely fill you up. Hang in there! I remember the first couple of weeks, I was like, mine doesn't work!!! It works all right! And yours will, too.

I got my sleeve on Oct 7th and was feeling the same way! I was so surprised that I felt hunger, because I had heard so many say they were never hungry! I felt like I was starving to death! Then, when I was moved into the blended stage, I began to feel like I was being fed! My husband made pots of homemade chicken Soup, with all good veggies in it and lots of chicken. He then put a portion in the blender and pureed it, and it tasted like heaven to me! Also, I finally, finally felt like I was actually eating! Those first weeks are so tough to get thru, at least for me! I was getting depressed because I thought the days would never pass! But, see if you can make some good homemade soup, and blend it till smooth, and have a cup of it! You will start to feel better! Wishing you well on your journey; Connie

Same here- sleeved on 10/23- getting required fluids/protein but seem to never be full. Though I'm not hungry either. I was just sitting here thinking the same thing- am I going to feel full with regular food? Sounds like it from the other posts so that's a relief!
