Hungry!

[Michelle Anne 4]

Hi. I'm three weeks post op from my sleeve and I don't think I have ever felt that full feeling. This past Saturday my doctors diet allowed me to start scrambled eggs and tuna fish. I measure out my food but have never felt that full feeling others talk about. I am also so hungry I think I could eat my couch? Is this all normal??

I'm also 3 weeks post op. I know what you mean about not knowing if your full. With that said, I am feeling hungry at all. Are you getting enough Protein in right now? I try and get a close as I can an that seems to help.

My doctor has a very different post op diet from the other that I see, he does not want calorie drank so when I started eggs he makes us stop proton supplements.

Hmmm. I guess we know why your ready to eat that couch! There are so many variations of the post op diet it's hard to know which one is the best. I hope it gets easier for you.

I hope so. I see my doctor tomorrow so I hope he has something good to tell me!! It's got to be better!!!

When I'm full, it can be uncomfortable. The old signals aren't there anymore. I know when I'm approaching full when I feel bubbles moving around the food in my sleeve. Or I take one bite too many and I feel an uncomfortable stretching sensation in my sleeve. If I continue to eat, it gets really painful and I can feel a poking sensation in my chest, where my stomach and throat meet. Those days of that good old feeling of, "Ohhhhh, I'm so full I could bust." are long gone. And I don't miss them one bit!!!!
