Hi. I'm three weeks post op from my sleeve and I don't think I have ever felt that full feeling. This past Saturday my doctors diet allowed me to start scrambled eggs and tuna fish. I measure out my food but have never felt that full feeling others talk about. I am also so hungry I think I could eat my couch? Is this all normal??

I'm also 3 weeks post op. I know what you mean about not knowing if your full. With that said, I am feeling hungry at all. Are you getting enough Protein in right now? I try and get a close as I can an that seems to help.

My doctor has a very different post op diet from the other that I see, he does not want calorie drank so when I started eggs he makes us stop proton supplements.

Hmmm. I guess we know why your ready to eat that couch! There are so many variations of the post op diet it's hard to know which one is the best. I hope it gets easier for you.

When I'm full, it can be uncomfortable. The old signals aren't there anymore. I know when I'm approaching full when I feel bubbles moving around the food in my sleeve. Or I take one bite too many and I feel an uncomfortable stretching sensation in my sleeve. If I continue to eat, it gets really painful and I can feel a poking sensation in my chest, where my stomach and throat meet. Those days of that good old feeling of, "Ohhhhh, I'm so full I could bust." are long gone. And I don't miss them one bit!!!! B)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
