Happens to me all the time now, only thing that seems to make me feel full is red meat. But eating that feels like a brick in my stomach.

Sometimes after eating I get what you would think is a feeling of hunger but it is really thirst from the sodium in the food. I try to drink first when I feel hungry and the "hunger" is always a false alarm. I am 3 months out and still don't get hungry.

3 hr is a long time after as little as you ate. Not a big deal or unusual but probably head hunger. You'll get where you can tell the difference. You are worrying not eating a lot at all

Well I have lost 17 pounds since (7/22) thought it should be more don't know if I'm eating to much or not enough. Sure would be nice to have a tummy window so I could SEE if I'm full.

@@dsheive - DH and I eat out a lot and I have to remind myself to not worrying about leaving food. I usually get a doggie bag. Anyways I hate to bag up a bite or two and instead I ate it and found out my "window" was showing full (not cool). It only took doing that twice to realize - STOP!

same with drinking while eating. I just don't get a drink at all. I get strange looks, but that "habit" is still there. I will drink coffee before I eat on Sat/Sun - but that the ONLY meal and I don't drink once the food is there.

Today I ate..766 calories,66 carbs,30 fat,50 Protein. Does that sound about right.. I feel pretty good, they were all smaller "meals". This is a hard "game" to understand the rules.

What happen if you drink to soon

The liquid in your stomach makes it easier for the food you've just eaten to move from the stomach into your small intestine.

Then your stomach's empty again -- (rumble, rumble) -- leaving room for you to put more food in it.

Ruh roh!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
