I do not feel the tightness that others talk about. I weigh my food and eat it but do not get the full feeling. Is this normal?

How far out from surgery are you? How much food can you eat in one meal?

I am 9 days out from surgery. My dr put me on soft foods on day 7.

How much can you eat in one sitting? Are you eating a full pizza sized meal with no restriction?

I am only eating 3 oz of protein a meal and using shakes to make protein requirements. Also very tired.

Nine days out you are still healing from surgery. It's understandable that you are tired. It's going to take time to feel your new sensation of full. Things get easier as you progress to real food. Hang in there.

I hope your recovery is short. Welcome to surgery weight loss phase!

Once you start eating dense protein you will feel full. The liquids and the soft foods are called “slider” foods cause they slide right through your sleeve. Once you are able to mix in dense protein like chicken breasts you will definitely feel the full sensation. You will even feel great pain if you over do it, possibly even break out into a cold sweat. I know from experience my friend.

Thank you. This is a learning process and I am grateful for the assist
