Not hungry, Not full

[ShadowDancer 3]

I am a week post up, and don't feel either hungry or full. I'm just eating something every 2 to 3 hours. Since I don't feel full, I just make sure I pay attention to quantity and don't over-eat. Is this normal? If so, when do people get these sensors back?

I've had zero issues so far!

I think it's normal. I'm the same way at 5 days post op. I'm on purees, and have read we should really start to feel the restriction when we get to more sense Protein. With liquids, I get pain after a few sips, so my guess is that means stop.

Make sure you are on an acid reducing medication, hopefully a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole, protonix, etc. for many people acid can mimic hunger. It did for me and when they increased my PPI it went away. There are lots of posts on this!

It is normal. You will probably not have the full feeling until you reach the solid food stage.

I'm 3 months + post op and never feel hungry. No longer have that sensation. I've gone half a day without eating. (Not recommended!) I do feel full right away after eating about 1/4 cup of solids.
