Hey all!

Yesterday was a good day. I drank my water requirements, protein requirements and meals. This morning I had my protein shake, then an hour later started drinking water. Had my breakfast and was fine. Then an hour later I tried drinking water again but I felt so full. It lasted most of the day. I was able to have dinner around 4:30 and am now working on my water but feel so darn full.

Common?

How far out are you? If it is just a few days or even a couple weeks this would be rather common.

I am 23 days post op. ?

In that case I wouldn't worry too much unless you start having trouble getting or keeping anything down. Of course if this continues for a bit I would check with your surgeon to see what they say.

If you're eating things that take longer to digest, it's certainly possible.

The general trend should be each day things are the same or a little easier than the day before. A single day or two of extra fullness is no biggie, but if the trend reverses for a week, it could mean a stricture is getting started.

For example, someone would say.. last week I could eat 3oz of cottage cheese, but now I can only eat 1oz. This is the sign of a problem. And another reason why weighing and measuring our food is so important early on.

Most likely everything is fine for you. I just put what to watch out for (for you and others reading the thread).

Yesterday was fine. I had a yogurt for breakfast and for lunch. My protein shakes and all my water. For dinner I had some low sodium finely shaved ham and a wedge of laughing cow cheese. Ate really slow and chewed until it was liquified. No problems. Thank you all for your advice ?? TFIG.
