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.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
