StRted soft mushy food and I feel full after a couple bites but like I feel like I have to eat a lot more. Like I'll eat 5 bites and then wait a hour or so eat another 5 bites or so. Is that normal? Also for some reason I feel a lot more energize with food than I did the liquids. Even though technically it's not as much protein but I still feel kinda a lot better is this normal?

I agree, I feel much more satiated with real food instead of liquids and shakes. Everyone can chime in on whether or not it is good to eat every hour or so, but I think not. I have read horror stories about people regaining because they bypass the sleeve by eating every hour. They grab a large meal, and eat til they get full. Then wait an hour, and eat again. They effectively eat way too much by grazing. Anyway, it probably isn't a good habit to form. I will admit, it does feel weird to eat so little though. Are you actually feeling hungry every hour, or are you just eating to get more calories in?

No you're getting all wrong. I been eating on 1 pouch of tuna just one and still not done with it. It's not even a big pouch probably like a small juice pouch. I eat every hour or so because I'm actually really hungry. Like I'll probably eat some more at 6 o clock. I was told to get my protein from food now not from supplements. Only when needed to use a supplement.

Oh, okay. My misunderstanding. It is very hard for me to get enough protein by just eating at this stage. I think I can only consume about 4 ounces of pureed foods per sitting. I eat 2X daily, and have a Premier Protein shake 2X daily. The protein shakes take care of 60 grams of my requirement. I can then eat some kind of pureed fish with pureed veggies for 1 meal, and maybe cottage cheese with pureed fruit for the other. Anyway, good luck with the rest of this stage.

Yeah it's super hard I was told to get most of my protein from food which is hard and only use a supplement once a day. It's a battle man but good luck with the rest of your stage as well
