I'm three weeks post op and I never get that full feeling. I just eat the amount they tell me and stop. Anyone else experience this?

Well I'm in my fourth week. So for breakfast I have either a scrambled egg or 1/4 cup of cottage cheese. Lunch I usually have some form of meat and a slice of cheese cut from the block. Dinner I try to eat mostly protein and a veggie. 1/4 cup of protein and 1/4 cup of a veggie. I still never feel hungry. I have to literally look at the clock and know I need to eat. But I just started getting that full feeling this last week.

Hello I am 5 days post op and I don't feel any different! !! I don't feel full when eating my jello or yogurt. I really just want to eat like some tuna and crackers or some spinach dip. I am starving. What is wrong with me!!??

Same thing was happening to me about the same time. But I was getting dizzy and lightheaded. So my surgeon moved me to the next stage of eating. She said my sugars where off and I needed substance. I feel full now. About the last two weeks I've been full. You'll get there. I wouldn't do cracked or anything crispy with sharp edges. Your tiny tummy may not like it.

I am 3 weeks post op & can start some soft foods now, but I don't feel full at all. I wish I did!! Did anyone else experience this? Will I feel full when I start on soft foods? Thanks & good luck to everybody!

Yes you will.

Yes!!!! That's exactly what I do. And I also forget to eat, which is so strange for me.

I forget to eat too, no hunger and no cravings, it's so nice actually! As for the not feeling full, I don't feel that either but I'm just resigned to measuring my food, picking high protein and knowing that's what I should have at this stage in the game. This week I start soft foods, so pumped to chew! Chew Chew!

Good luck y'all. Ps- I've lost 56 lbs since Nov. 19.. Mostly water weight but isn't that just abnormally crazy? I think after the hell I've gone through, I'll take it and be proud!

Warmly,

Shelly

I started feeling full on week 4.

I was hungry a lot first couple weeks on liquids, about a month into it I started getting full that I wasn't hungry all the time, 4 months later, I am not hungry usually, 70 lbs lost

I'm 3 months post op and I also forget to eat. I'm going to be seeing the nutritionist for the first time after surgery in two weeks and now is definitely the time. Not only do I forget to eat (and drink enough water) but it seems to be so much work to get in the Protein drinks which I still supplement with because there's no way I can get enough protein otherwise.

I still have a tendency to eat too fast which can cause nausea but it could be lack of Water as well. It's a work in progress for sure.

I start the day with a Protein Drink and often that's more than I can handle for Breakfast. Sometimes I'll have eggs (2) for lunch or crackers and cheese or yogurt and fruit with granola/cereal. Another protein drink and then supper. Not sure whether I'm getting enough calories or perhaps the wrong calories.

Hopefully, the nutritionist can give me some ideas.

Hello it is my first time posting here.

I am 9 weeks out bypass and thought I was alone in how it has gone for me. To had hunger (stomach) from about day 3 of this surgery, that grew worse than what it had pre surgery! The pureed stage (4 weeks) was very difficult and I ended up doing mash potato with low fat cheese, milk and salad cream just to fill fuller.

Thankfully now I am on ordinary eating, but I can eat a tea plate size without any problem, along with able to eat most things, bread, Pasta, rice all meats etc. I do work hard at having high Protein meals and low carbs and find that more filling. Lost about 2.5 stone now.

I had a band fitted two weeks ago. It is very rare I ever feel full.

It may be a function of the type of surgery. I do not know if lap band surgery produces a feeling of being full.
