I am so hungry for real food! Anyone else? I was sleeved 1/29 and jello... is not cutting it anymore! I smell all the great smells of real food!? Anyone have any advice or recipes?

Thank you

Are you sure it's real hunger or could it be cravings? Maybe it could be the acid in the stomach causing you to feel that way. Are you taking a proton pump inhibitor like Protonix or Prilosec, etc. If you're on full liquids, maybe some broth, sugar free popsicles, fat free milk, yogurt, low cal juices, or Protein Drinks, Decaf tea is what comes to mind.

Lol. Glad I am not the only one! Just wanting to get back to a routine. Not working right now. I can get some major things done if this pain and hunger crap wouls go away.

Went shopping today and I am in some nice pain now lol. Guess im trying to much to fast?

I eat when I'm hungry. And yes I still get hungry. 2 bites of something usually fills me up. Unless it's Soup. I can drink a whole bowl.

Omg me too! Well I have been eating about 5 oz of Soup but today ibate a whole yogurt and that was about 5.5 oz

I was kinda freakin and was wondering if I was stretching my new stomach out. I sure hope not

I was the same way!! I was actually hungry. And I fell ashamed for it like something is wrong with my mind or body or hormones. It really messes with me at times

Me too…..I had my sleeve on January 17th and I do have hunger. I am supposed to be adding soft foods in this week but I am struggling with being afraid of eating too much. I am also stalled and that is really getting me down. With this cold weather it is hard to get in my 64 ounces of Fluid. I guess I have to remember that this is a marathon and not a sprint.
