DarcyA66 5 Posted February 12, 2013 I am 8 days post op and feeling great ... I can drink an 8oz Protein Shake in minutes though without feeling "full" or any sign that I am going too fast I am also able to drink Water easily. Shouldn't I feel full if I am drinking all 8oz of a Protein shake? ? Or is it just because it is liquid that it goes through the pouch easily and on into the digestive system? Just wondering... I have my follow up on Thursday and will ask my surgeon but has anyone else had this ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vachick64 32 Posted February 12, 2013 I get a hiccup' date=' too. My husband has picked up a lovely habit of yelling FULL when he hears it [/quote'] That's funny about your husband...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vachick64 32 Posted February 12, 2013 I get pressure and feel like I'm going to have reflux. I always measure out my meal. Sometimes I will walk around for 10mins and the feeling will go away...or I walk to the bathroom....ick!!! I'm only 5weeks out' date=' so still learning to be mindful of the chewing and tiny bites. I totally drank from a straw yesterday without even thinking!!! How does that happen??? Getting off subject here, but sometimes I feel so spacey! I think I need more protein![/quote'] For those measuring food, are you measuring by weight, measuring cups or both? I have yet to go to the class, I will on ably find this out, but wanted to be prepared. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mom2lucky (suznc) 81 Posted February 12, 2013 Measuring - depends on what it is. meat I usually go with ounces, other things I use the measuring cup. An oz of lettuce is very different than an oz of chicken volume wise so a measuring cup would be better for lightweight items imo. My surgeon recommends 1/2 cup total volume per meal until my 6 mo checkup. Your team may have different recommendations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
selenaarnold16 8 Posted February 13, 2013 I am usually pretty good at telling when I am full but this evening was not the case! I decided to try turkey meatballs. I ate two and then I was in the most horrible pain. I finally threw up which wasn't bad like before having the bypass lol but I immediately felt better. I am going to have to really pay attention next time I attempt those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
