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. 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.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
