Not feeling full?

[bronco312 2]

Hi y'all I had gastric bypass surgery on 7/13/16, everything went very well, I was only in the hospital overnight and I've had no pain or problems maintaining hydration. Yesterday I was told I can start the puréed part of the diet, Ive started off with cream based Soups and if there is anything in it I just blend it prior to consuming. My problem is I am consuming things slowly but I never feel full, is this normal? Is it basically because things are somewhat in liquid form?

It's partly because you're consuming things in liquid or pureed form, but mostly because your surgery is so fresh that the nerves in your stomach that were severed are not healed yet, you you may be full and just not be feeling it. Take extra care in this stage not to overeat or drink too fast! You could damage your stomach or hurt yourself trying to find that full feeling that just won't be there yet. That's why I ate exactly what I measured and no more, and then when the feeling came back I sometimes would eat less, feel full, take a break, and come back to it. How are you doing otherwise? Healing well? Able to move around a bit?

Thank you Cervidae I'm doing great otherwise, I have no problems moving around or walking whatsoever, I walk a lot, I was discharged from the hospital after 24hrs because I was up and walking a lot within an hour of going to my room after surgery. Thank you for your advice!
