Don’t feel full. Help [emoji30]

I feel like I never feel full. Which scares me for the future. Is this normal? It makes me not want to eat at all because I’m scared I’ll eat too much and stretch it out.

Pre or post op? What type of surgery did you have and date? Can you give us an example of a day of food from your food log?

I’m post op. Surgery was April 26. Gastric bypass. Generally I’ll have a yogurt for breakfast(doc said Greek yogurt was good and it’s 15g of protein) then a protein shake for lunch and dinner. I don’t feel hungry but when I get, I also don’t feel full and that scares me for the future phases of diet.


You’ll feel it once you have more food items. Ie meat

Yep. Almost everything you're taking in now is liquid, so you won't feel full from that. You'll notice a big change when you are eating "real" food again--a couple of ounces of meat or other solid protein will fill you up. Enjoy the feeling of not being hungry now--your hunger will most likely return eventually.
