Hello I am 4 days post-op and dont really know if what i am feeling or expericencing is normal. I know where the shoulder pain is comming from but i dont know how i am supposed to feel when eating. I havent really felt hungry so to speak. my stomach has been doing some growling but i eat when this happens. When i eat, i eat the ammount that my doctor has instructed me to eat and i dont know if i am feeling full. I guess i expected to feel more when i ate and that i would have a clear sign of when i needed to stop. Is this normal for only being 4 days post op? I just feel like i am doing something wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I know exactly what you are talking about. I was banded on the 3rd. I almost feel like it is numb. I am not really hungry and when I eat I don't really feel anything (not full but not empty). The other day I ate some strained cream soup and a protein shake too close together and I definitely felt too full. I figure as long as I don't get to that point and I am not feeling weak I am eating the right amount.

I learned the hard way today...I started drinking a protien shake and then about an hour later felt really shaky so I started drinking some soup from a can (it's a slim can with a sippee cup - Campbell's I think) and I wasn't paying attention to how much I was drinking and OMG...I have been in pain all day...so with that being said, I would limit your portions to about 4 oz a sitting...that's just my take and I will never do that again.
