Btw..I don't get hungry feeling either..ever!..I guess that's good!

Totally normal, I am 9 weeks out still dont feel hungry nor full...

I am also 2 weeks post and today was my first semi normal meal. Purée if you call that normal. I had broiled salmon for dinner. Only eating approx. 1oz. I do not get the full feeling until about 15 mins after I eat. But, I am do afraid of vomiting I steer away from being full. By the way the salmon tasted heavenly.

I was about 3 weeks out when the feeling of full hit. at 11 weeks out now, I get hungry from time to time, but mostly have to remind myself to eat. your stomach is still healing and when the nerves come back, you will know it. :-)

Same here EXACTLY.

Same here. Infact I posted last night askin the exact same thing! I feel hungry a tiny bit late afternoon. But I never feel full. I watch very closely how much I eat at a time. But I'm truly not Full.

I was reminded the nerves in our pouch are not awake for several weeks.

I'm seven weeks out and have still never felt full or that I've over eaten. No pressure, no pain. It's scary. I have to really watch my portions. Good thing is that a) after one bite I'm nauseous so I don't feel like over eating B) I am never really hungry... Just experience low blood sugar

Fullness in.the beginning feels like a pressure in your ribcage or a slught twinge there. You wont feel filled up in your belly for a few months

I am three months post op and at first I felt pressure when I was full. Now I get sorta hungry and its not really full but the hunger goes away. If I eat a spoonful more than my portion I am very nauseous, to the point I dry heave, sometimes vomit. I struggle with the mental adjustment of not eating the last bite or thinking the portion is so small. So right now I am working on recognizing the absence of hunger and leaving the rest when that comes, no more cleaning your plate! Lol

I have just been eating shrimp and occasionally fish, I can't do chicken or tuna or eggs =\ I'm 3 weeks out and wonder if 4 pieces really well chewed is too much. I don't get a full feeling or vomit. Is this normal?

4 pieces of shrimp? How much shrimp were you eating before surgery? Chicken does'nt work for you?

You're just fine girlfriend, it's not too much, just focus on how fast you eat, remember how macerated your food gets once you chew it 30 times and swallow, your pouch can handle it, nerve endings don't wake up fully for a few months after surgery, then you'll feel full and hungry, it just takes time for your body to get over the shock.

I'm only post op sinc

Oops since Tuesday and I have gas with everything I eat and drink is this normal. Gargly feeling only when I eat or drink. It's just weird. Will this go away?
