Not Full

[newbie_2025 4]

Hello everyone . So I had my surgery on August 18th. Everything went ok and now I am in the purée stage . My question is has anyone ever experience not feeling full with the recommended ounces in the purée stage . For example, I am only suppose to eat 4 ounces of yogurt and I feel like I can def eat more then that . Of course I do not eat more because I do not want to jeopardize this journey . I am now allowed to eat eg whites which I did for the first time yesterday . My dietician told me that I can have two egg whites . Had them yesterday and didn't feel full at all. After reading some post in this site it seems like people are getting full quickly and I feel like I don't. I have been keeping up with my Protein and I have also been keeping up with my Water intake so what gives ??? Yesterday was pretty rough for me, I was up late watching movies and I started to get hungry . Usually I would grab a bag of chips or some sort of other snack before the surgery and yesterday for the first time I couldn't so that was a little hard. Any thoughts ???

I had my surgery on 8-19. I've noticed that for me I'm "full" when my chest feels tight. I haven't felt the full feeling yet & wonder if we will. : )

My RNY was 08/11. I had the same problem! I'm on soft foods and just now starting to be able to distinguish when I'm full. Maybe the nerve endings are healing? I didn't push it either and just stuck with the recommended amount my NUT advised. I think it just takes a while since it's quite a shock to our bodies.

I'm about a year out and rarely feel the same "full" feeling I felt before. Which now I can identify as being too full. Its more of an absence of hunger now. Which is part of the reason eating slow is so important. It was much harder for me to identify this new full feeling at the beginning probably due to my stomach needing to heal.
