It was a good 6-8 weeks before my stomach could register a full feeling. Don't eat til you feel full, eat what you're supposed to. It may be a while before you actually feel 'full'.

Measure and log your food intake. Follow your surgeon's and Nut. advice. All those nerve endings need time to heal. You won't feel much early out. It will take time to get used to the chaos.

Four months out and I still don't feel full in the normal pre-op sense. I don't know if I ever will. I eat a measured amount of food each meal. Sometimes I can eat it all and sometimes I can't. For me it depends on the consistency of the food - soupy or soft I can eat more, thick or chunkier I can eat less. When I can't eat it all, I feel satisfied and disinterested. Sometimes I feel a slight pain or pressure below but between my breasts - I've learned the hard way, at that point even one more bite will make me sick. Not dumping-sick, but food backing up into your esophagus-sick - otherwise known as the dreaded 'foamies'.

I had the same problem in the beginning. I thought the surgery wasn't going to work or something. But I'm now 7 weeks out and def get the full feeling. It surprises me every time. I make sure I measure out my food to 4oz meals but most if the time I can't eat that in one sitting.

I'm 3 wks post op and feel the same way. Still feel like I'm dieting since I'm forcing myself to stick to a certain amount.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
