Oh and Iv been trying to get my daily Water intake accomplished. It’s not easy, but I’ve been getting about 64oz of water in a day. Plus getting in around 100g of Protein in a day too!

Are you noticing any signals of fullness or hunger? I just feel kind of "there"---not hungry, not full, just there. So, I'm able to get most of my requirements in, but I worry that I'm not getting a full signal. Does that not show up until we're off full liquids?

I feel the same! I can’t tell if I’m hungry and I can’t tell if I’m full! I smell food and I see food l that I used to love, so if course I want it...but am I hungry? Is my stomach hungry or is my brain hungry? It sucks! Then when I do drink my Soup (cause all I can have right now is liquids) I can’t tell if I’m full or not. I’m just blah. Then I sit there and worry, did eat/drink too much??

macpower u are doing so good,glad ur bk on.i thnk because of our stomachs still being swollen from surgery & not fully heeled yet & our taste buds being so off that it is hard to tell if ur full or hungry.i feel like i need to eat 6 sm meals a day.i am starting to feel full quicker now.my dr wants me to eat 3 meals a day but i can only eat so much at a time but then im hungry 2 hrs later.im sure it will b easier to do once im eating real food again.i am on pureed food now but just cant stomach looking at my food like that except for soups.i made a lasagna bake w soft zucchini & squash on the bottom,a shepherds pie,sauteed spinach,rsted acorn squash & a pumpkin pie custard the other day.it was great to cook again.i can smash up my shepherds pie & it went dwn well.the lasagna bake was delicious but kind of rich,the sauteed spinach did not agree w me so well.the pumpkin custard was yummy & the acorn squash was good.i did try some chkn in little bitty bites & spinach & lets just say it started out well but shortly after everything came up.well i guess it serves me right for not pureeing it first.its also so hard to eat slow,especially when it is soft food.

I don’t ever seem to be really hungry at all. But your right, everything inside of us is still healing! I can’t wait to get to soft foods. This liquid diet is just so boring.

      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
