Not feeling full

[Yaya B 49]

I'm almost 4 weeks post op and when I drink or eat I don't really get the feeling of being full. Is this normal? Kinda worried because my biggest fear was that my sleeve wouldn't work.

Your goal with the sleeve should never to be full. Being full hurts, and it really hurts early out. Once you get full, it won't be something you strive for.

Everyone heals differently. Some people have their nerves take longer to reconnect.

You didn't say what you are eating so it is hard to judge if anything you are eating will actually trigger restriction.

Even with restriction, you should never rely on feeling full to judge when to stop eating. Measure your portions and only eat those portions.

"Full" means "overate." It's an uncomfortable feeling. In a perfect world you will feel satisfied, meaning something like thinking, "Hm, I could have another bite or two, but I don't need them."

As long as you eat appropriate amounts and are okay with it and not eating more then you should be fine, nothing to worry about, but don't go binge eating.

I'm 3+weeks post-op and I'm not getting "full" either. It seems like I get hungry again shortly after eating, so I can't tell if I'm eating enough or not and I hate that I'm constantly feeling hungry. I dont want to over eat, so I'm trying to be careful. I'm calling my dietician tomorrow because this has gone on for a few days now and it's getting really uncomfortable.

You are never going to feel full on that, those are liquids. When you eat some meat, you will learn what full feels like

Water, broth, crystal light

you will never have that "full" feeling from any liquids

yogurt is a "slider" food

you eat it and it goes down smoothly/easily

most OP don't feel full from that

popcorn, junk foods are other sliders

eating sliders will never give you that full feeling

eat them/snack on them alllll the time

can/wlll "help" you gain weight!!!

eeeek

if this happens - the sleeve will NOT fail you

YOU will have failed the sleeve

you are one month post op

don't worry now

you'll have plenty of time in the future to worry

i know you can learn and do things right

i have faith in you

good luck bud

eyes on the prize
