Feeling of being "FULL"

Hey y'all, I'm 5 weeks out and wanted to know does the feeling of being satisfied or full always feel the same after surgery or does it change 4-6 months out after your stomach fully heals.

Right now I can't stand the awkward feeling I get after I eat. Its not really comfortable. Feels like gas moving, acid, and tightness . I barely get in 1/2 a cup of anything at a time . I always end up throwing my food away as soon as I feel this sensation.

    It changes a little, not much. Try to slow down your eating and stop before you get that sensation. If you "barely" get in a half cup of food before getting that feeling, next time measure out a third

I've only just recently been able to get all my Protein Shakes in. I couldn't at 1st and some days I still can't. It depends on if I eat solids or not . Even when I do it's a job to finish 2 of my Premier Protein shakes.

I am also 5 weeks out and 1/3 cup is the most I can manage at this time. My doctor said our capacity will continue to increase as we heal. Said I will end up with 2/3 cup capacity. Stop eating before you feel uncomfortable, maybe 2 bites less and see how you feel.

Try Atkins Lift Protien Drink. It is sold at Walmart near protien shakes and Sam's club.
