So Ian 4 weeks post op and I am not feeling full. I can easily eat 3 ounces of a Protein and some veggies without feeling full. It's scaring me that I'm eating to much and I'm messing things up but I don't feel full I don't get sick.

You need to measure and stick to the exact amounts your dietitian says. *just my opinion* Period. You don't have the same nerve endings in your stomach right now. So you won't feel full. I don't ever feel full....and I don't ever feel hungry. I religiously weigh. I use a scale I bought at Walmart. :) It will be a year or more before you've fully healed. Some don't have the sensation of fullness even after that.

I'm hungry all the time and don't get full either. Feel like this is a huge joke

I was told between 1/2 - 1 cup. But sure seems like i can get more in I guess I have to be more vigilant on weighing and measuring. But if I weigh out 3 oounces of Protein do I then have to measure it to see If its less then a cup??? I'm actually confused right now ugghhh

I had to google what the ounces were per cup for food. I get curious about a lot of stuff so i look it up. I don't know the numbers right off the top of my head. Weigh foods and measure liquids. I usually do 2oz of Protein and 1/4 cup of veggies and that's usually my meal.

I also struggle with this! I find I am able to eat 1/2 cup to 1 cup of food but not one hard boiled egg (completely) weird!!

I am trying to eat slow and measure if I still feel hungry I wait and will eat something again in a hour.

Surgery date 7/25/12

Every time I ate 1 egg I would vomit. I had half an egg a few days ago it stood down yesss. Would I try it again?nope lmbo I'm afraid one day things agree next it doesn't.

I never go over three...don't think I could. My nut is big on listening to the pouch but gives rough guidelines. I will measure as I get farther out I think.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
