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.

My NUT told me to stay away from anything that you can crush into dust (chips, cheetos, crackers) and slip slide food (pudding, pie filling) because both will go through your sleeve without a problem and won't give you a feeling of fullness so if you don't watch it you will over eat.

No problem at all its a mindfield, when i was earlier out say 8 weeks i got chest pain as i was OVER FULL so i had not been getting the signals lol now i will avoid that at all costs. im 3 months post.

That’s what I’m trying to learn. I want to know when to stop eating

How many ounces are you eating per meal?

How many ounces are you eating per meal?

I was sleeved on Oct. 3rd and am still trying to get all my fluids in and protein in if I get the fluids I don't get the protein . I am never hungry. I haven't tried anything other than my protein or fluids. I drink beef broth for some of my fluid because warm goes down better. My protein is premier from Sam's and a fuzzy Navel drink from the vitamin store. I have had a 1/2 cup of tomato soup. But that's it. I am never hungry. I've lost 30 pounds last time I checked I don't have a scale.

About 2 ounces.....I’m in the waiting to see my nutritionist now

Are you on a PPI? if you are early post op...hunger pangs are often stomach acid. as soon as I went on prevacid my hunger pangs were gone. I stayed on the prevacid for about 2 months and then weaned myself off and was fine after that.

Looks like you were sleeved so you will need to stay on top of it. GERD is a potential complication of being sleeved and is not something you want to let continue untreated.
