It's been twelve days since I've had my surgery. I will be able to start on my puréed diet. But I'm concerned ...when I eat I don't get a full feeling... is something wrong? Has anybody else experienced this?

I am almost 4 weeks postop. I felt the same way but within the past few days, I definitely started feeling full. I think it is from healing and the transition to some solid foods. Hang in there...

Thank you... I'm trying

Yeah, I have that problem. I have to measure stuff, which is hard if you are out. Twice, I've made myself sick. Hoping to learn soon.

I measured everything at first and felt the same way. Honestly like I was a failure and it wasn't going to work. I went to introducing solids and bam just like that I could not even eat weighed out portions. I think that liquids are like the sliders and move right through. Makes the first few weeks disappointing, but when you think about it. Sliding through is a good thing at that point because your tummy is still healing.

I had the same issue. Now 3 days on purée and it's totally different for me too. Just measure everything it's going to all be ok once you get to next stage.

Thanks everyone for the tips. I swear I'm thinking something is wrong or I'm failing like @@MindyMe said.

I am 7 weeks out and didn't feel full until recently. The puréed foods did not make me feel full ever. Now on regular food I can really feel my restriction after eating a small amount.

I'm trying to hang in there. I know this is just the beginning

I'm on day 12 and just ate 4ozs of fat free cottage cheese with salsa. I ate slowly until I started to feel pressure which is STOP. I have felt this getting full feeling since I started the shakes and stopped immediately as I do not want to hurt my new pouch!

I have stayed fuller longer on soft foods as well but the shakes didn't make me feel the "full" sensation unless I drank a little more. I guess I "tested the waters" and pushed it a little, but I went SLOWLY and listened intently to my body. You have to be careful but you need to know your limits as well.

I know you're healing and probably starting to get hungry since it looks like we had our surgeries on Jan. 3rd! Just go really slow and get to know your pouch! Take care of yourself always
