So I just ate 2 oz easy (2.5 wks post surgery), I never feel satisfied or full and an hour later I'm hungry and stomach is growling. Wth? Frustrating

Maybe give your NUT a call and let him/her help evaluate what/how much you are eating. I have a friend a month out and she was told she needed to eat more so that might be your case but it's best to let the experts help you. Keep us posted on how you are doing.

Best of luck to you!

Thanks carol.

I'm doing what the nut said to do and the max is 2 oz every 3 hrs our so during the day. Always protien first and from the food on their list. She makes it sound like I shouldn't even be able to eat that much but I feel like I could eat more. Is just frustrating.

I'm sorry. I can see where that would be frustrating. I hope others with more experience will be able to help you find a solution. Maybe some of it's head-hunger? I'm sure you've already thought about that. Hang in there and come vent when you need to.

But I see you are losing weight very well, so relax! It will get better, you just have to be patient. You are still healing. Same was for me, 'til the 6-7th week I was able to eat a lot, once you start dense Protein you will feel the restriction! :)

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
