Hey everyone! I am 9 weeks post op and up until the last couple days, I've wondered if my sleeve was too big because I always feel hungry and I can eat a little more than a lot of people I know who have gotten VSG. Last night though, I noticed I got super full off a very small amount, and today the same thing. All of the sudden I'm feeling major fullness that I haven't been feeling up until the last couple days. I don't feel sick or anything, it just takes a lot less food and I'm crazy full. Also, I'm noticing I can feel the food go down into my stomach all the sudden too. I haven't felt that before. Is this weird, or something I should call my doc on?

Sounds like your stomach nerves are healing up after the trauma of surgery, but definitely call your doc if you are concerned. That is always the best option IMO.

Yep, your healing and the swelling has gone down. Same thing happened to me but at about 5 weeks out.

It could have something to do with WHAT you are eating too. I can eat more Soup and also "empty calorie" stuff than I can nutrient dense foods. Then again, there are times when I am just starving and can eat more than at other times.

I've experienced the same feeling of the food going into my stomach. It takes very little food to fill me up. If you're uncomfortable or concerned ring up your doctor. Better to be confident and moving forward than to spend your time worrying if something is wrong.

I hate that feeling. I can still only do about 2 oz and I'm 2 days into my 6th week post Op. I hate the feeling of hunger. It's almost like nausea or something sitting right at the base of my throat. I'm curious when people started being able to eat 4 oz.
