Don’t feel full. Help [emoji30]



Recommended Posts

I feel like I never feel full. Which scares me for the future. Is this normal? It makes me not want to eat at all because I’m scared I’ll eat too much and stretch it out.

Pre or post op? What type of surgery did you have and date? Can you give us an example of a day of food from your food log?

I’m post op. Surgery was April 26. Gastric bypass. Generally I’ll have a yogurt for breakfast(doc said Greek yogurt was good and it’s 15g of protein) then a Protein Shake for lunch and dinner. I don’t feel hungry but when I get, I also don’t feel full and that scares me for the future phases of diet.

You’ll feel it once you have more food items. Ie meat

Yep. Almost everything you're taking in now is liquid, so you won't feel full from that. You'll notice a big change when you are eating "real" food again--a couple of ounces of meat or other solid Protein will fill you up. Enjoy the feeling of not being hungry now--your hunger will most likely return eventually.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
