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.

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.

      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.
