Don't be scared! It's completely normal at about the sixth month mark or so for the stomach to relax a bit.. It just part of the normal healing process (yes it's been healing this whole time) Just keep doing what you're doing and eat until satisfied but not over stuff and you will do great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MouseOnTheMile 186 Posted December 14, 2013 I'm only 4.5 weeks out and I'm already scared of this! Some days (or foods) I seem to be able to eat more and some days it seems like a lot less. I feel full quickly (maybe 3 oz or so) but I get hungry often, every two hours or so. Thanks for posting, maybe I can save myself some worry around the 6 month mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for posting, maybe I can save myself some worry around the 6 month mark I truly believe in mental hunger and real hunger. Ever since I've had this operation , I find my mind plays tricks on me. Now whenever I'm hungry and don't want to eat, I hVe Water. Usually fills me up. Or I hit the gym.
