I have been sick with a terrible cold since Sunday. As usual when I feel this way I also don't feel like eating, loss of appetite. Drinking  is no problem so I just made sure to get more fluids in like drinking more protein drinks and having protein based soups. I also ate some Greek yogurt and cheese. Today I have been feeling a bit better, feeling a little more hungry..and I started to have cravings to go back to solid foods.So, for lunch I had an extra lean turkey burger (no bread) and 1/2 cup steamed broccoli. Right away I felt more restriction and it seemed to be more difficult to swallow food without feeling discomfort. Same thing this evening when I had a 1/3 cup of veggie chili..couldn't even fini**** I'm assuming it's because I have mostly been on a liquid/soft based diet the last few days, maybe the sleeve constricted a bit as well. I believe the increased restriction and discomfort should subside, once I go back to eating more solid foods. Just wondering if anyone else experienced something like this.

I am pre op ( 14 more days to go !!)  so I havent experienced anything yet but just yesterday my surgeon did tell me that the stomach will " shrink" again just like it did before surgery if you restrict calories.

Hope you feel better soon.
