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.

      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?
