I’m 11 days post op and today I ate 1280 calories in Soup and yogurt. I don’t get it. I don’t have problems eating too much or getting sick. I feel overly full sometimes like today but never enough to vomit or dump. I can drink Water normally and never have had a problem with that... other people I know can only eat 2-4 ounces at a time... I hope this changes when I go to puréed and soft foods... otherwise idk why I did this surgery!!! I thought I’d be much more restricted than I am.

Soup is a liquid. Yogurt is a liquid (pudding thick consistency).

Liquid-consistency foods don't promote fullness or satiety in many sleevers simply because they don't remain in our sleeved stomachs for longer than a few minutes.

liquids exit our sleeves rapidly via the pyloric valve and into the small intestine. You could probably eat a gallon of potato corn chowder soup (3070 calories) over the course of a few hours and still be somewhat hungry.

I assure you'll feel stuffed with 4 ounces of chicken breast, pork chops, turkey, or steak. Rigid Protein and fibrous veggies trigger satiety. Everything else is a 'slider,' a.k.a. food that slides into our stomachs without triggering satiety.

I hope you are right! I just got alarmed when so many people could barely finish their Water or protein intake and I was totally fine with it! I graduate to puréed on Monday so hopefully a half a cup of egg salad does the job!

I feel the same way. I go to puree stage tomorrow. I'm ready for refried beans! Or any mushy foods for that matter.

I freaked out too lol and had a great recovery with no issues. I could drink all day and as soon as solids... even the scrambled egg is so filling. Trust me, you are restricted!

Yay! Today I ate soft foods. I ate a half cup of corned beef hash and was sure I was still hungry. So I ate a half cup of Tomato Soup and boy! I now know what that overfill uncomfortable feeling feels like. I almost had to push it today to know what I was capable of, but I know not to make a habit of it.

I'm on day 2 from surgery and I'm honestly starving... got Protein Shakes and Water down with no problems. Hope my hunger subsides. Main reason I got this surgery was to eliminate how hungry I get after going too the gym..

I felt the same way after surgery. I am still convinced my sleeve is too big. I was starving the day after surgery. I am still hungry often and it is not f*cking head hunger. It is legitimate hunger. I thought this surgery was supposed to reduce ghrelin production?
Oh well, still glad to be down 45 pounds in 8 weeks.

When I went to pureed and soft foods after my liquid diet it was way different there's no way I can keep eat more than 2 ounces of food in a sitting I was pretty scared when I was on liquid diet cuz I could drink so much and not feel full but now that there's actual food involved totally different

Omg me too just had surgery yesterday for the sleeve and I'm starving. I did this mostly to lose my hunger issues. Just got released at 3pm today and since I've been home I've had no problems in taking down 2 Protein Shakes. 4 sugar free POPSICLES.

My experience has been I still feel hunger. I am hungry roughly every two hours. I can eat about 4 to 6 ounces of lean Protein and I am satisfied. Then two hours later hungry again.

      April Surgery
      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
