6 Days Out Post-op Question

[Jenny Nelson 5]

I had my surgery Nov. 11th. I am having a hard time telling if I am full. I eat broth, drink premier shakes, Jello, and sugar free Popsicles. I don't always have the Jello and Popsicles though. Does anyone else have trouble telling if they are full?

You will never feel full on fluids...they don't stay in your sleeve long enough. Regardless, even when you transition to solids, you should not be using "full" as a guideline of how much to eat. It's a nasty habit that made us all fat in the first place. Measure and track your food according to your program's plan. Meet your Protein and Fluid requirements and don't eat more than the ounces recommended for each meal/snack.

Use the "search" feature and you will find answers to just about every early post op question you can imagine.

Your incision is healing you are resting to stomach. You are not "full", liquids run right through the sleeve. The nutrients are absorbed in your intestines. Make sure you get the required amount of Protein and Fluid. Take your Vitamins. Only 500 mg of Calcium at a time. Always take D3 with Calcium.< /p>
