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 of a cup and stop with that.

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
