Not feeling full or even hungry



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone else has this. Surgery was on 27th may and I don't get a full feeling... But I don't get a hungry feeling either... I drink regularly because I know I need to and I only drink 3-4 oz at a time but yeah....

I was sleeved on May 15, I feel the same way. Someone mentioned on here to me that it was because the liquid mkves through the stomach faster. today was my first day on semi soft foods and I still felt the same way.

It is like that during healing. I didn't get the full signal until about 6 or 7 weeks post op. I still don't really get a hungry feeling almost 4 months out, but I believe that I'll likely change too.

That is normal when you are in the liquid stage. I am 5 months out and believe me you will feel full soon enough. Once you start eating a more normal diet, you will feel the effects of everything. You honestly do not get a hunger feeling until about the 3 to 4 th month.

It's totally normal. It took me a couple weeks to get the full feeling. Like someone else mentioned, once you are on a more normal diet, you'll feel it.

I am three days post-op and I feel like I am starving! I think I had read somewhere that the gas (which is pretty awful) can mimic the hunger pangs. I am trying very hard to follow post-op directives. Any advice? I have no problem drinking the 6 oz Protein shakes. I have had 2 today. Off-times I have Water. I had broth for dinner.

Eat Jello, it has substance and will make u feel full. Also try ice pops. Increase your Water intake and for the gas pain keep moving around. Remember your body is also coming off high amounts of sugar and carbohydrates. Try those two substances it will help alot. Try beef broth that will cause a filling sensation because it has a higher fat substance in it. Also keep your mind occupied because it can be boredom making you hungry too. If u can take Vitamins take them because they will really help your body. I hope this helps. If u need anything else let me know.

Thanks for the Jello suggestion. I'll try a little Fage yogurt today.
