Feeling anxious.

[elliemac22 4]

I wondered if anybody can help. I'm 10 days post op and on to puréed food and I never feel full. Don't get me wrong I'm not hungry and I feel satisfied but scared I'm eating too much. I'm having approximately 3/4 cup of puréed food. What are people's thoughts? Any advice?

That full feeling didn't really kick in until a few weeks later for me. I just wasn't hungry, and wasn't interested in food for quite awhile. And food tasted bland with what little I was eating. Don't worry, it'll happen. But right now you're recovering from major trauma. Your insides are as confused as you are.

Give it some time and things will start falling in place. Even now at over a year out I'm taken aback sometimes at how quickly I fill up.

Good luck!

That's great. Thank you for taking the time time to reply. That's making me feel a bit better now.

This is how I feel too!! I'm 5 days post op and I never really feel full. I get extremely hungry though if I don't eat regularly! I'm able to drink my Water or Gatorade just fine too and my Soups. My Soups are usually 4-5 oz at a time. I wonder if this is normal? I feel like it's too much, but I don't feel full, I just don't eat over that because I'm scared to. I'm also really weak feeling the last two days! 11 pounds down in 5 days tho!

Wow. That's exactly how I feel. Couldn't put it better myself. That kind girls response makes me feel that it will all come right. I've done lots of reading on line today and it does suggest that it's too early for us to know for sure if it's working. I was having 5-6oz of Soup.

I can eat that same amount of soup at a time and some Water too. They say these are "slider" foods and so it doesn't really make you feel full because it goes right through the sleeve.

Exactly, exactly, exactly how I felt. I'm 27 days post op and only started "finding full" within the last week or so. Im certainly not a dr. but my theory is maybe as your pouch heals things begin to really tighten up. Im finding greek yogurt seems to be my filler.

Hope it helps.

I am 18 days out. I had same experience. I was disappointed and worried as heck bc NOT feeling full was never covered in any of the pre surgical classes, of which there were plenty! Today I felt it at lunch. Finally! I thought I stopped in time, but ended up throwing up right after eating. You'll get there after nerves heal.

Oh my gosh-I wish I had seen this post 20 minutes ago!!! I'm having the same issues and had GBS on 9/14. I was really getting worried that it didn't "work" -so glad to hear I'm not the only one. I love this forum, so much support and info!!

Same. I'm exactly a week post op and I'm not super interested in food either but I have to stop myself as opposed to my stomach signaling to me that I'm full...which I had always thought would be loud and clear. I had always thought the full feeling after gastric bypass was so obvious it practically slapped you in the face and I'm very sad to find that just hasn't been the case for me. =( Although, I too have lost weight (12 lbs) I relate that to only eating popsicles for the last week. I am SO afraid that once I'm able to eat solids, that weight loss is going to come to a stop and I'm going to be utterly screwed. I'm trying to remain positive though. Good luck with your journey!
