thinagainandforever Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I am 2 and a half weeks post sleeve surgery. In the first week or so, I was easily filled up by just a couple of spoonfuls of soup or protein drink. I am now finding myself significantly hungrier and not necessarily full even after a thick protein shake. Is this normal? Will it be easier once I start on solid food? I'd love to hear about other people's experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmlm06 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I'm in the same boat. I figure that one I start soft foods it will feel "heavier" in my stomach and I'll feel more satisfied. I am also upto a bowl of soup, rather than the 4 oz. from last week. I am able to drink the protein shakes in under an hour, but don't feel full afterwards. 5 more days until soft foods! Hang in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinagainandforever Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Thank you for letting me know that you're experiencing the same thing. I also posted on another forum - obesityhelp.com, which has lots of experienced "sleevers" and got similar responses. They said it changes a lot after solid food.
