Yes, the reason is that the liquids go right through your pouch/stoma instead of sitting there keeping you full. Dawn Vickers, RN, BLC, CLC

the only liquid that holds me for some time is the powder protein shakes. sometimes to change it up i add a banana or strawberries.

The first few weeks I realy did not want anything, but the shakes have a good taste and not a lot of calories. They don't stay in the pouch, but I was not feeling like I cared for at least two weeks. After two weeks I realised that Sharkes were what I call slider food, they just go through the pouch and right into the stomach, so yes, you will not feel full with protein shakes.

Yes...Once you can have denser protein you will not feel hungry or confused.

Some days i get real hungry between meals, and also when i'm going to be away from the house for a while, i add a K2O Protein pack to my water. It really helps to feel full longer, taste great and helps me get my protein in. You can get it at the grocer store in the diet food isle.

I have felt hungry at times and been able to satiate my hunger with clear liquids for about 20 to 30 minutes or so. If keep drinking the clear liquids the hunger will be kept at bay. I don't know exactly WHY this is. I suspect that it may have something to do with the liquids flushing the hunger hormones out of my stomach or perhaps diluting them. I have had the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy so my response my be different than others. Basically the surgeons REMOVED most of MY stomach and the section that PRODUCED most of the hormones went with the section removed. This may play a part in how my system works now. I don't know. I am NOT a medical Expert.
