Jacki, well it wasn't my doctor/surgeon I spoke directly to, it was one of his "nurses" that does the GI surgery programs. I was sooooo shocked when I heard her response to my question, thats no way for ANYONE to be treated. And i know who this lady is because I saw her the following day at one of the support group meetings for gastric bypass patients, she was standing in the corner drinking a Coke Zero and introduced herself as being 4 years post op and works as a nurse/coordinator with my surgeon. She's not very friendly AT ALL. Bless her heart, she doesn't know any better.

This hunger part is really for true because I feel it in my stomach, not my head, and not my throat, I mean REAL and TRUE hunger.
This 2 week liquid diet has gotz ta go...LOL.

Jacki, as you've said you could drink half a cup of chicken broth within half hour? I could probably drink a whole cup and then some without any ill effects. I still really feel something isn't right with my pouch. On my 2 week follow up appointment I will definitely address this to my surgeon, hopefully he's be a lot more understanding than that class A bitch of a nurse.
