Hey y'all, I'm 5 weeks out and wanted to know does the feeling of being satisfied or full always feel the same after surgery or does it change 4-6 months out after your stomach fully heals.

Right now I can't stand the awkward feeling I get after I eat. Its not really comfortable. Feels like gas moving, acid, and tightness . I barely get in 1/2 a cup of anything at a time . I always end up throwing my food away as soon as I feel this sensation.

It changes a little, not much. Try to slow down your eating and stop before you get that sensation. If you "barely" get in a half cup of food before getting that feeling, next time measure out a third of a cup and stop with that.

I've only just recently been able to get all my Protein Shakes in. I couldn't at 1st and some days I still can't. It depends on if I eat solids or not . Even when I do it's a job to finish 2 of my Premier Protein shakes.

I am also 5 weeks out and 1/3 cup is the most I can manage at this time. My doctor said our capacity will continue to increase as we heal. Said I will end up with 2/3 cup capacity. Stop eating before you feel uncomfortable, maybe 2 bites less and see how you feel.

Try Atkins Lift Protien Drink. It is sold at Walmart near protien shakes and Sam's club.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
