So I am 3 days post op and I don’t feel full I just feel empty. Is this normal? I can eat a whole popcicle in one setting. I am afraid that this shouldn’t be happening. I already have this bad feeling this isn’t going work for me can someone help shed some light on this for me. Thanks

I am 3 days post op too and I feel exactly the same way!! I don’t ever feel full! I feel weird pains and lots of grumbling and I belch a lot. I am starving and want to eat so bad! I was hoping the Protein Shake I had today would help but I drank the whole thing in 30 min and never felt full. I keep trying to listen to my body and recognize cues but nothing is consistent.

You are unlikely to feel full when all you are consuming is liquids. Just wait until it's time for real food . . . you'll be amazed at how soon you feel full and on how little food.

I know it's early for you both, but the first month is amazing for weight loss, generally--although I'm not sure I appreciated that, given how miserable I was the first month. I found that things improved greatly when I was able to eat again, but I'm still, six months out, consuming very small portions. Today I had a banana and a yogurt for Breakfast and an omelet (ham, onion, and cheese) with some rye toast for lunch. I have not been hungry at all today. I may have a Protein Shake for dinner--because I need more Protein.

Hang in there . . . it will work out.

Yeah not eating is really tough. I am way to scared to even try anything but broth or Popsicles but I am ready for the weight loss. It just hurts right now and I am ready to be feeling better. But thank you this helps ease much mind so much.

It'll get better! I didn't start feeling a sensation of fullness til I started eating these soft foods....& I could always eat a whole popsicle! & I can also really eat a lot of Ritas sugar free Water ice...

I’m ALSO three days post-op and I’m having the exact same experience as you two. Clearly, this must be normal since all three of us are having the same experiences. I don’t feel particularly full. I’m surprised by how much I’m able to eat - particularly the Protein shake (still it’s not a lot). And the tummy grumbling is crazy. Let’s all just decide to think positively. :)

I haven’t done a Protein Shake yet. Im only allowed all Clear Liquids right now. But i agree we should all think positively and I want to say congrats to everyone it’s definitely a challenge and I wish all of you nothing but success.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
