Glad you are feeling better.

I am 12 days post op and I have days where I cannot get more than 400 calories in (like yesterday). I feel extremely full all the time even if I don't eat. I woke up this morning feeling like I have just eaten an entire pizza! Don't know if this is normal or not.

If anyone has experienced this before and know what is wrong, please let me know what was wrong with you. Maybe I can figure it out on my own before calling my doctor.

I had surgery may 30, 2012 everything went perfect! liquid wonderful for 3 weeks went for check up & got put on solid & soft food. I started feeling blah. For 30 days I was vomiting everyday. I called my surgeon he saud it takes time. I put up with it. It went away. The past week (recent) I was really vomiting I could keep 1 spoon down. I saud something is wring. Called my surgeon he got concern & had the endoscopy doctor call me for appointment & come to find out my stomach completely closed. They made an opening so I can hold in food. So far had cheerios and it stood down. Listen to your body always. I'm glad I'm in this group ppl saying call the doctor you might have xxx and yes I'm lucky. If not for the group I would stay vomiting because I thought it was normal.

Actually they didn't tell me. They mention it happens sometimes but not to everyone. It's a rare case.

I had a minor episode of this, and my soft foods were put on hold. They gave me prednisone for a few days to open it, and it seems to have worked. I still haven't been able to eat meat or even fish, but I wanna avoid opening the hole up, as long as I am able to eat. I'm glad you found the cause.....it is so hard to know when there is a problem, or if it is just a routine part of the journey.

I think this is pretty normal to feel full. At 12 days you can not eat much so 400 cal

May not be unrealistic....hower- make sure you are drinking your protien, if nothing else- thy should be a couple hundred cal at least.

Thanks Mrs. D. At least I am not alone in this journey. I try to drink my Protein drinks daily but it's so hard to drink at least three a day which would make about 570 calories. There are days where I can only get one Protein shake in as well as maybe an egg white and 3 cups of Water. I just hope this will get better soon.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
