How long do you stay full post op? You know how before surgery you can eat a big meal and feel full for hours. After surgery you eat a very small amount of food, how long do you stay full?

I am finding that I feel hungy all the time. I keep thinking about food. My mind is hungry for food and my body is not. I keep telling myself "nothing tastes like thin feels"

I’m not hungry at all, and I sip so much Water I almost constantly feel “full” however I force myself to eat at routine times to make sure I can hit my 60g Protein goal.

I think it’s different for everyone. I’m about a month & half post op. I eat about two to 3 meals a day about 2-3oz. I stay full for hours. My meals are spread out to like 3 hours in between each.

I’m about 5 months out and only really hungry in the morning and that’s mild just noticeable. I eat 4 oz every 4 hours but have to remember to eat . Typically not hungry afterward at all

I eat 5 very small meals per day. I get hungry every 2-3 hours. I so wished that I would have been one of the lucky ones that had to remind myself to eat.

It was just not to be for me.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
