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!

@@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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
