Hi I'm 2 weeks out and I'm on my soft phase and I feel like I can still eat quite a bit. I've read people have 2 or 3 bites and they are full. I can eat half a can of tuna and some applesauce and I've yet to get that "full" feeling. Is this normal?

I was able to eat more than a couple bites, more like you are talking. Think about it. How much could you eat before? Did a half a can of tuna and a little applesauce do it for you before? I am about 5 months out and eating less than a cup a sitting, depends on what it is, but I do feel very full. Everyone is different so only time will tell.

Very true! I guess I just thought I would've had more restriction. Thanks

I am 15 days as well. I can eat half a cup of runny Soup, but less of a more dense purée like tuna salad. Also if I make one scrambled egg with 2 tbs of skim milk I can only eat about 2/3 of it. I some times have a Protein Shake in the afternoons for a snack but it takes me about an hour or more to finish it. I thought this was all ok. I see the dietician next Monday.

Your eating a lot less than me. I eat about 1/4 cup of tuna and I still feel hungry. I also do the Protein Shake as a snack but still don't feel full

You will probably notice more restriction when you start more dense Proteins.

I sure hope so. I don't want to push it to the point I get sick. So I just stop and I still feel hunger throughout the day :(

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
