So Ian 4 weeks post op and I am not feeling full. I can easily eat 3 ounces of a Protein and some veggies without feeling full. It's scaring me that I'm eating to much and I'm messing things up but I don't feel full I don't get sick.

You need to measure and stick to the exact amounts your dietitian says. *just my opinion* Period. You don't have the same nerve endings in your stomach right now. So you won't feel full. I don't ever feel full....and I don't ever feel hungry. I religiously weigh. I use a scale I bought at Walmart. :) It will be a year or more before you've fully healed. Some don't have the sensation of fullness even after that.

I'm hungry all the time and don't get full either. Feel like this is a huge joke

I was told between 1/2 - 1 cup. But sure seems like i can get more in I guess I have to be more vigilant on weighing and measuring. But if I weigh out 3 oounces of Protein do I then have to measure it to see If its less then a cup??? I'm actually confused right now ugghhh

I had to google what the ounces were per cup for food. I get curious about a lot of stuff so i look it up. I don't know the numbers right off the top of my head. Weigh foods and measure liquids. I usually do 2oz of Protein and 1/4 cup of veggies and that's usually my meal.

I also struggle with this! I find I am able to eat 1/2 cup to 1 cup of food but not one hard boiled egg (completely) weird!!

I am trying to eat slow and measure if I still feel hungry I wait and will eat something again in a hour.

I never go over three...don't think I could. My nut is big on listening to the pouch but gives rough guidelines. I will measure as I get farther out I think.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
