I got sleeved on the 9th an it sounds like there is gas still in there. Did anyone else have that issue? An how do u know when u are full?

I was also sleeved on the 9th and had gas in my system for a few days. I can still feel some in the shoulder blade area. Walking helps get rid of the gas. Since the surgery I have felt absolutely no hunger. I would advise you to follow the diet plan given to you by your bariatric surgeon's office. That will ensure you are getting the much needed Protein that is needed by your body during this healing phase. Good luck.

I follow my protocol an during the liquid phase I drank my shakes, an bought unflavored Protein whey added a teaspoon here an there in everything whether it's coffee hot tea, soups..etc..it's a learning phase for sure. I had a hard time to but you'll figure it out. I'm 9 wks out an still learning. After my 4th bite I lay my fork down or spoon an rest a few minutes do something I usually look thru my phone to look busy or something then after a few minutes take another small bite if I'm satisfied I stop an push plate away. I don't keep eating like everyone else..you will learn. I'm sorry if this is vague but I hope it helps. With fluids it's different.

Hi sharie,

So the crummy thing about the first several weeks post op is that you typically won't know when you are full. All those nerves that once shot those "I'm hungry... feed me feed me Seymore" messages to your brain were cut during surgery. Several more that remain are in an area that is really swollen. Right now you have to try your best to adhere to your post op diet that your doc or nutritionist provided you. The sucky part for me was that I was able to feel hunger again before I was able to feel full. Until you get on somewhat solid foods, you likely will not feel restriction. Your stomach is like a funnel for anything you drink, shake and Soup wise, even puree foods sometimes don't make you feel "full" Our "Full" feeling is very different than it used to be as well. Mine sits in the upper to middle portion of my chest as opposed to that feeling low in my gut that I used to get when I enjoyed something ridiculously bad for me or two portions worth.

Your gas is normal honey, mine lasted almost two weeks and I thought I had one of those chest burster aliens inside of me almost the entire time. Just keep walking, take gas-x chewables or strips, and drink as much Fluid as you can.

I feel full in my chest now, but really didn't begin to experience hunger and fullness normally (newly normal anyway) until I was back on solid food again. You can try gasX and walking for the gas. That past just takes time.

Thank you for all the help. I don't feel full but if I take in to much my mid back starts to bother me so I stop then once I walk I am fine I am not sure if anyone else had that
