Haven't had a felling of fullness



Recommended Posts

I'm 11 days post op and still currently on full liquids. I haven't had a feeling of being full. Is this normal? I eat about 1/4-1/2 cup of Soup, or pudding or yogurts and don't feel fullness. Really wondering why and how this is.

Yeah, it's normal while you're on liquids. They kind of funnel right through your sleeve. Once you start solid food, you'll feel it!

So glad to hear this - I was sleeved on 9/2 and haven't really felt the total fullness - but I belch a lot - I am so hoping that goes away soon!

I was sleeved the 2nd too. How are you feeling?

liquid usually goes straight through you, so you won’t get that full feeling. Once you go on to more solid foods, you will certainly feel it!

When I had the sleeve, initially I felt that my surgeon hadn’t taken enough away. Had he actually done anything??? Then I had more solids and really knew he had. Give it time, it’ll happen!

I sure hope everyone is right on here about feeling full once you start on more dense (solid) foods. I am always hungry. I am almost one month post-op. Can't wait to eat normal foods again. This liquid diet is terrible and finally feel a tiny bit of satisfaction with yogurt. Ready for the real stuff.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
