Not feeling full

[lynzi 1]

thank you so much. I am hoping once I have substantial types of food I will stay full longer and really feel the restriction. I am taking a ppi. I am definitely not stuffing myself. In fact I think I would be relieved because so far I am not feeling restricted. I feel I get hungry often. I just don't want to sip my way to too many calories a day. So far I think I'm ok calorie wise but don't want this to be a slippery slope. It took me all day and several servings to eat a 220 calorie can of soup! But just trying to figure it all out.

Yeah I has surgery on the 5th and I feel like it's not working I never feel full except when I drink my Protein other than that it just seems I should have has Gastric bypass instead

I'm on my 11th day after surgery and started the second week diet a few days ago(mashed potatoes, pudding yogurt, etc...) I take my time eating, right around 20 minutes, to make sure I don't eat too much before I get the full feeling. But I haven't gotten full off of anything I have tried.Here's the stuff I have tried that I thought should have made me feel full. 1.5 cup mashed potatoes, 1 cup oatmeal, 2 scrambled eggs. Don't know if the stuff is just passing through or if I just don't feel the sensation of being full. Is this normal?

Oh wow, I haven't heard that before. I'm also 2 weeks post op and can barely eat a tsp of mashed potatoes and eating even 1 scrambled egg is torture because of the restriction. Maybe your stomach pouch isn't as swollen and it's allowing more food in before you feel the restriction? My nutritionist said I shouldn't expect to be able to eat more than 1/4 to 1/2 a cup at the most at this stage. Did your nutritionist provide you with any guidelines around that?

I talked to both my doctor and my nutritionist. They both said just about the same thing. These things that I have tried are passing through my stomach more quickly than solid food would. The food is emptying out of my stomach befoRe I finish eating. So what I started doing is just eating about a 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Will be starting on soft/puréed foods tomorrow. Hopefully will work out right.
