Feeling Full

[southerngirl 51]

M trying to figure our if the big tight feeling or sharp rumble feeling kind of like a big bubble caught is the feeling of being full. Otherwise how do you know? I'm never hungry so I'm not sure if that's eat? If so I am on my 5th day post op and can only have two small bites of Soup. Then wait about 15 to thirty and have two more bites of soup(broth). Does that sound normal?

Yes, it is completely normal. You won't be eating "normal" until about 3-4 months out and even then it will never be the same as it use to. The feeling of being full with the big bubble is your stomach readjusting to food/liquid in it. It will take some time to go away. It took about 3-4 weeks for mine to leave. You will eventually know when you are hungry. Good luck on your journey!

I am 8 weeks out and I have that feeling. I always say it feels like a rock in my chest. Now I can take about three drinks of liquid at once before I get that feeling and It goes away pretty fast. When I eat though, it is a completely different story. I can only hold about two table spoons of food before the rock shows up. It takes a long time for it to go away then.. and if I take one more bite or even swallow what is left in my mouth, I WILL throw it back up. I spit out a lot of food. I have a very tight restriction.

I get it too. I'm 3 weeks out today and struggle to eat more than a few bites at a time. It's hard to get enough calories because my restriction is so tight.
