That full feeling?!

I'm 4 days post rny and have yet to get that full feeling, granted i am still on full liquids. Is this because I'm still healing inside and because liquids won't make me full?? I'm over here worrying that I'm not getting the full effects of this surgery! Help!

Don't worry so much about it. It takes a while to get used to your new tummy.

It is not possible for you to feel actual hunger at this point and feeling full really is a different feeling than feeling overful.

If you are feeling hunger at the point it is likely dehydration or head hunger. Dehydration can actual feel exactly like you are hungry, try sipping more often. For me, I had to hold that cup literally in my hand until I trained myself to get all my liquids in.

If after you get to your liquid goals (48 to 64 oz.), you still are feeling hunger then it is your head telling you that you are hungry. This is something you will battle throughout. You have to go do something to get your mind off of it. Go for a walk, go do dishes, read a book, anything to get your head to a different place.

I will say that first week post op is rough because I actually felt week. I started to feel better once I got to full liquids and was able to add Protein shakes.

Hang in there, it will get easier.

I had the same problem, my nutritionist told me to drink/eat slower and it worked like a charm .. hope this helps!
