Hi guys, I'm day 5 post op Omega loop bypass. Not sure how I'm meant to be feeling after I drink my fluids. Fluids are going down easily and I drank some tomato Soup at lunch time and I didn't feel full. Is this normal?

2.5 weeks post op and I have yet to feel "full" on anything, I just go from a empty feeling to an unempty feeling. I know it's not helpful to you, just needed to vent lol

At this early stage in healing, the nerves in your stomach that were severed have not knit back together. So it's entirely possible you are both definitely full, but putting more in than you should because you're just not feeling it. I found it helpful to just stick to the food plan to a T, even if the half cup or soup or quarter cup of cottage cheese did not make me feel full. I noticed a marked difference in my satiety by 3-4 weeks out. Hope this helps.

I have been definitely following the plan, I figure just because I can doesn't mean I should lol

I've had the normal gastric bypass and I'm starting to feel the same way, the first few days was tough to get down liquids but it seems that now I'm healing it's getting alot easier to drink and it worries me as I don't want the liquid to stretch the new stomach (can that happen?) I know the liquid enters the stomach but I'm unsure how long it sticks around.I'm only 10 days post and have had zero solid since before surgery.

didn't mean to hijack your topic just quite curious myself.
