How long did you all measure what you had as you had it? I am having broth and just having a couple spoonfuls every few minutes.

I was (still am - PO day 5) mostly Water and maybe about 1 oz of sugar-free Jell-O per day. I tried chicken broth but it was very unappealing. I sucked the salt off of a few pretzels - my body was craving electrolytes.

I cried on day 3 from hunger. Day 4 was Christmas, the family made cinnamon rolls for Breakfast and I cried. SO FREAKING HUNGRY. I was mad and weak from having no calories in 10+ days, ya know? I am still angry because why the EFF am I hungry????? That was the allure of this procedure: to not be so GD hungry!

Christmas dinner was easier than Breakfast, but still difficult.

For me, the feeling of "full" is totally different than before the WLS. It's more of a slight pain or that feeling you get just before you're about to burp. I'd recommend trying to discover what your new feeling of fullness is.

I've not vomited at all, so I think I've done well with not over-consuming.

Tonight, I had just the liquid from vegetable Soup. I'd have a spoonful, put it down, and wait at least one minute to try for another. I'd say I had maybe 10 spoonfuls before feeling full.

As for measuring Water, I bought a bottle with the oz/mL on the side - just fill in the AM and try to hork down as much as I can without causing myself discomfort. At the end of the day, I know what I've been able to drink.

We can do it, hayleyf3706! I am so sorry that you're hungry. I am extremely hungry, too. It must mean that we're special, right?? LOL

Soft Solids are kinda funny. On my liquids, I had no issues. Regularly downed 20z of liquids (as water or Protein shakes) within 40 mins. food was a completely different matter.

I was so eager that I munched on the chicken a bit too fast. It wasn't a nice experience. By the third meal, I could properly assess 'fullness'.

Hey Middus, good to know. I'll definitely be taking baby steps as I "level up", but your post reminded me not to get too cocky just because I'm doing OK with fluids.

I'm 8 days post op and starving! I drink almost 2 Protein shakes a day and about 1-2 Jello cups. If I'm desperate for salt I'll have a sip or two of some soup but I'm so not happy about feeling hungry!

Vee16. UGH! I keep waiting for that magic moment when the hunger goes away. Dang why could we be like so many other who don't have hunger PO??

@@Christina.Rose I think once I start eating real food I'll realize how not hungry I actually am! And I think a LOT of it for most of us will be head hunger

      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? 🤷‍♀️
