I’m 21. I had the sleeve in June 2017 and revised to the bypass January 21st 2018. Three days after being sent home I felt amazing. Not in much pain at all. But I’ve been constantly hungry. I had string cheese , peanut butter, yogurt and protein shakes. Nothing makes me feel full. I’m now on stage three and I made 1 scrambled egg with three crackers and was able to eat it all, drink some water and not feel full. What’s wrong with me? I got full when I had the sleeve done and I was on stage 3. I feel like they didn’t do anything. Just went in and looked around then patched me up!!!

Most of those are sliders. And in my experience, it takes a while to feel the restriction from your RNY. I kinda "think" the nerves have to wake up. That's why it is really important to follow your plan and only eat the quantities it tells you to eat. Also, eating as low carb as possible will help with the hunger. Hang in there!

I cant answer for the RNY but with the sleeve, there is for sure restriction. And man when you overdo it. it is noticeable on my face lol. I dont even have to say i ate too fast or too much.. It shows.. I am learning each day to slow down and wait more and more because for sure for sure... Its a mess to deal with afterwards!

Edited to add: I'm a sleeve, not RNY, but for my doc the following would apply to any of his patients - RNY or sleeve.

Agree with fluffy that it may be the sliders. But you also mention drinking water with your egg and crackers. My doc doesn't want us to drink water until at least 30 minutes after we eat because it can push food out of the stomach faster than it should. So, if you're drinking water with your food, maybe try that? Also, sometimes carbs (the crackers) can make you hungrier - at least they do for me. Maybe try egg with a bit of some sort of other protein (breakfast meat/faux meat or something like that)?

Why did you need a revision so soon?

I just got mine, and i can tell you i have never felt full until i got this surgery. im still on my liquid diet, and i can only get down an 8oz shake before im like bursting. try eating more protein. i was told not to drink water 30 minutes before, during, and 30 minutes after eating or else it would stretch out the stomach.
