is there anyone else that is having a problem not getting full. I feel like I am starving all the time I am constantly snacking to try to feel full. I think the surgeon made a mistake and left my stomach in. I am 5 weeks post op I snack on cheddar cheese and beef jerky all day but am still starving by end of day. I have learned to stay away from chips because I can eat a whole bag and not realize it. I have a friend that had same surgery and he said he has same problem with chips.

You may want to start journaling to keep track of exactly what it is that you are eating. I am not sure if you are eating anything else other than the jerky and cheese, but if you are not then you definitely need to start getting more and better sources of protein (preferably something with fewer calories and fat than the cheese). I am currently eating about 90-120 grams of protein a day and am pretty active. The only times that I am getting hungry are when it has been 4 or more hours since I have had a shake or eaten anything. I know if I am not getting in my protein then I get hungry and can not stay full for very long, not comparing myself to you I am just letting you know how it has worked for me and hopefully that helps you out! Good luck!

Thank you I will try this just don't know what else to eat to get enough protein. I try the protein shakes but can't keep them down
