December 8, 201213 yr How do you know when your full I don't even know I am hungry? Surgery was Nov. 29 was 258 then came home at 268 they pump u full of h20 and gas now down to 247.YEAH!
December 8, 201213 yr You are to eat slowly... the "full" feeling is the same post op as it is pre-op just a lot quicker The reason for eating slow is to give you brain a chance to catch up with your stomach and you dont over eat.
December 8, 201213 yr Author They don't have to worry about that I ate a teaspoon of applesauce with my meds and it was a baby spoon and it took me the entire so minutes. Don't want to throw up or any thing else. My husband was trying to be supportive and brought me a smoothie from Mac Donald's he don't understand the 25 grams carb or less it has 49 grams. I took a verrrrrry tiny sip and as soon as he went to shower I threw it out. I don't want to hurt his feelings cause he is trying so hard.
December 8, 201213 yr Congratulations. I forced my self to eat about 2ozs every 3 hours. You have to remind your self to eat and I would only get a serving size of the 2 ozs so I knew I wouldn't over eat. Unfornately now I do get hungary, but you know right away when your full. Day of sugery 7-17-2012 I weighed 311, day I came home I weighed 321. They said not to weigh your self when you got home because of the gain from water and gas, but I couldn't help myself. Was totally shocked. Current weight 241.
December 8, 201213 yr From what I have read it takes at least 3 weeks for all the nerve endings to heal in your stomach... Until then you should measure everything that you put in your mouth. I sill measure everything. Most times I never finish what I measure out!!
December 8, 201213 yr I'm three weeks out and there are points it scares me what I can eat. I measure for fear. Then I will have days I can't finish 8 oz of protein shake. Just measure and we should be fine. :-).

December 9, 201213 yr How many hours apart should you eat?? You are better off asking your dietician. I was told three meals a day. No Snacks.
December 9, 201213 yr Author I am forgetting to eat weirded feeling cause I am never hungry right now. Don't want to dehydrate myself so I got an alarm clock set it for every 15 minutes so I remember to drink.
December 9, 201213 yr It normally takes about 6wks for the full feeling to actually kickin. The nerves in the pouch are healing making it hard to feel full.

December 14, 201213 yr no sugar added applesauce has been my main stay since getting home on sunday. It is easy to measure and goes down really easy and sits well in my pouch. No bad reactions from it at all. I could have oatmeal, mashed potatoes or cream soup. But seems like such a hassle to try to make it and then only have two ounces. The applesauce is by far the easiest. So I have been eating two ounces of applesauce three times a day, and drinking three protein drinks a day plus other liquid. I hope I am doing this right. I am still on the full liquid stage. Day after surgery in hospital they gave me mashed pot and oatmeal in little one ounce medicine cups.

That way you just have to pop them out & microwave them. I just did this with turkey from Boston Market. I puréed it with some gravy & froze it in the trays. I pop 2 out, put it in the microwave & voila 2 ozs of protein! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk HW 272 DOS 253 RNY Date 12/3/12
