Hi, I had my surgery Monday August 26, I am home now on a puréed diet. Our teacher told us we may struggle to eat 3 oz of food. So far I don't have that problem, in fact I can't tell if I'm full at all, nor do I feel hungry. I still have belly pain, so maybe that's it, but between not having a hard time eating and not being able to tell if I'm hungry at all, things just seem odd, any thoughts?

It takes at least 3 weeks for the nerve ending in your new pouch to heal. Don't overdo it. Measure what your are consuming per your nut and drs specs

I had surgery August 22nd and I know what you mean. I am not hungry, nor can I ever tell if I am full. I'm still on full liquids till tomorrow so it's pretty easy for me..I just sip all day long. I thought about this and was nervous before stating puréed foods but I looked into the communication I received from my surgeon and the hospital and it gives measurements and sample diets. So I figure I will just go by those and eat only the amount told or less until I learn my full queues and this pain leaves.

If you get to pain, you ate too much. My surgery was 8/7 and I dont feel "full" either anymore. For me it's more like a pressure feeling. I pay close attention to it as I eat because I don't want to go over that amount. 1. it's not a good idea to push it for several reasons but 2. that pain is not comfortable at all and takes a while to ease off. When I stopped eating sooner, I stopped getting pain. I am like Pavlov's dog lol.
