Hi all,
Had my surgery on 5/13. Since that time I've felt very good and have had no problems swallowing water or my protein products. I have used Isopure and many 15gm packets of soup or fruit drink. My problem is that I think I am taking in too much protein. the other day I had 100 gm. Should I be worried about this? Could I have a leak and not know it. I always seem to be hungry.

No, we have such poor absorption anyway. At that level of intake you are likely experiencing head hunger. WLS does nothing for food addiction. We become mentally accustomed to eating food at certain times and in certain locations regardless of actual hunger. Stick to your surgeons plan. If you feel full, you are full. Regardless of what your head says. If you are hungry 30 min after a protein shake it is definitely your head. But following up with your clinic is always good. I had to remind myself often to quit thinking about food cause I just ate. When you get on solids this will likely improve0
