First question are you hungry or are you just not feeling full?

Since you have had surgery your full feeling you had before surgery

will not be the same full feeling you have now. I can't explain it,

it is just different.

Liquids and soft foods will good down quicker. I think (don't quote

me) it is because they are softer and slide through faster. When you

do start eating solids, I would take three bites then wait for 3 min.

and see how you feel. Then try taking 2 more bites and see how you

feel. This time is all about learning to be friends with your new

pouch. Take it slow (eating) and see how you feel. The key is eating

slowly when you start solids.

> I am getting a little scared, I read in my book from Kaiser that

when I make a 12 oz. protien shake, it may take a while to drink it,

even like an hour or so to get it down.....There is my problem, I can

make a shake and just sip on it and finish it in like 15 minutes or

so, I can also just sip on a 32 oz. bottle of crystal light, I never

get a full feeling from liquids? Does anybody else? I feel like I can

eat more than I should, but then again I am still in the first two

weeks and have not had any solid food at all. No cheating or

anything, just pudding and jello and cream of wheat, and a little

mashed potatos. But I dont get a real full feeling. This scares me,

but I wonder if that will change when I get some solid real food? I

was able to eat a 8 oz. container of yogart the other day......I

never thought I would be able to eat that much, but is it different

cuz it was yogart, just it just go right through the pouch? I hope

some of you out there know what Im talking about, Thanks.

the first couple of weeks and have been thinking the same type of

questions.....Please let me know if you figure this out, and I can

use the knowlede when I get to that stage. Thanks.
