Just wondering..... I was sleeved 2/8/17 but yet I don't have feelings of "fullness", is something wrong or am I just that fat that this will not work?????

Same here, and sleeved the same day! I had 1 egg this morning and still felt like i couldve ate another 1. Even i can have a 10 ounce broth/soup and be fine. No feeling of fullness nor hunger. It just leaves me unsatisfied[emoji58]

Kkam just remember get your liquids and and wait your 30 min before drink something and vice versa. You be fine

Probably from swelling inside your sleeve

Yesss....that is totally how I feel with soup, yogurt, etc.. The only reason I stop eating is because it still hurts once the food is going down or I get really bad acid reflux (or what feels like reflux). Sometimes I keep regretting this decision.

Yeah i say the same sometimes but i know itll be worth it, i just had tuna with avacodo for lunch and ate 3/4 of a can. I just say to myself if i didnt have the surgery i wouldve had a burger and fries. We got this! The dr put me on carafate for acid reflux and alot of burping and it has been awesome

The hurt and acid reflux feeling is the new full feeling

It will be a while before your stomach is "wired" correctly again. Those sensors that used to tell us we were full get all screwed up after surgery. This is why measuring out your portions is so critical. You could be over stuffing your new stomach but your body can't tell you "stop!" at this stage, or it does signal you but it's way too late. While it's true some people can only manage 2-4 oz after a few weeks and others can comfortably do 6 oz you'll have to figure yourself out.

Also keep in mind that not all ounces are equal. I find that I can have 5 oz of yogurt and feel like I didn't even eat, but 4 oz of ground beef left me feeling stuffed.

Agreed!!! I eat a couple of bites of a high protein item every couple of hours. I generally can't do more than a few bites of something that is solid like meat or veggies. I make all of my protein drinks with only 1 cup of water or almond milk and I can generally finish that in a 30 minute time period. I try to focus more on getting my 60-80g of protein in. I am a band to sleeve conversion so not ever having that full feeling (or "stuck" feeling in the case of my band!) is really weird! Just track everything!
