Not hungry, Not full



Recommended Posts

I am a week post up, and don't feel either hungry or full. I'm just eating something every 2 to 3 hours. Since I don't feel full, I just make sure I pay attention to quantity and don't over-eat. Is this normal? If so, when do people get these sensors back?

I've had zero issues so far!

I think it's normal. I'm the same way at 5 days post op. I'm on purees, and have read we should really start to feel the restriction when we get to more sense Protein. With liquids, I get pain after a few sips, so my guess is that means stop.

Make sure you are on an acid reducing medication, hopefully a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole, protonix, etc. for many people acid can mimic hunger. It did for me and when they increased my PPI it went away. There are lots of posts on this!

It is normal. You will probably not have the full feeling until you reach the solid food stage.

I'm 3 months + post op and never feel hungry. No longer have that sensation. I've gone half a day without eating. (Not recommended!) I do feel full right away after eating about 1/4 cup of solids.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
