Not full

[Oakleygirl 53]

This is EXACTLY what I am feeling... 5 weeks post op today and I could absolutely graze on food all day b/c when I do eat solids, I feel "full"/tight long before my body says it has had enough nutrition! I'm struggling with this a lot b/c it's making me want to eat snack foods... I use MyFitnessPal religiously, I am able to eat some moist dense Proteins, and I get my Protein in each day. I DO notice that after I eat solids, I don't want to DRINK for a LONG time and maybe if I could get my fluids up, I wouldn't feel hungry. I always feel like I am on a sugar "low" and fluids really bother my stomach, especially plain Water. I do take a prescription acid reducer each day, but I just have to learn how to set up a daily eating routine that works for me... thanks for all the good advice here!

If plain Water bothers you post-op (does for me) try either MiO or Crystal Light. I could not do CL as it is too sweet now, but MiO can be slowly brought up to taste. It has been my life saver as plain water just won't go down.

I too have a problem with plain Water. Since artificial sweeteners bother me I add lemon to my water and that's how I drink it. Just another option.
