My husband had the same issue, could eat and drink and never got the full feeling. We also were concerned something wasn't right. He is now 6wks post op and last week started to get the full feeling. We weighed his food to make he didn't go over the recommended oz since he didn't feel full. So hang in there....it will come.

My husband had gastic bypass 9/19/14 He has done great....no pain, hardly ever gets nausea...etc. His surgeon said his pouch would only be able to hold 2 oz of food but he can eat 6 oz of mashed potatoes or veg refried Beans....is this normal? Just afraid of stretching out the pouch.

Daron B......My husband had his done @ Rex in September, they were awesome!

I think he had a delayed reaction or something cuz now he can only take a couple bites and he is full. In the beginning he didnt get that full feeling like the Dr said he would. He is 5wks post op and has lost 49 pounds. Hope everyone is doing well:)

Thank you everyone!! i think the confusion was he didnt fell full and the dr told him to eat until he felt full. I also think he was expecting the sick feeling or pressure to know when he is suppose to stop eating. He is very good at keeping track of everything he eats or drinks. I didn't know about the nerve being cut so that makes since why he didnt feel full. Since then I have cut his portions down to 2 oz portions. I also told him to make sure he eats something small every 3-4 hours because he wouldn't eat anything all day. Again, thank you.

Thank you. I'm gonna call the surgeon office tomorrow and ask. He had his 2wk post op apt last week and they told him it was ok to go to the next phase and to try mashed potatoes etc...
