4 days post op-always feeling full..is this normal?

[MissieLyn 1]

I've been doing a little Protein Shakes and sipping on Water. I do 6 oz of Protein Shake and feel pretty full. I'm afraid to drink to much water because I feel full. Is this just because everything is so swollen? Will this go away so I can do more fluids?

Welcome! Yes, as the swelling goes down, you'll be able to drink more and then advance on your diet as prescribed. Try sipping Water throughout the day and getting in those Protein Shakes.< /span>

I was banded on wednesday and found that I was never hungry either...I just made sure that i sipped Protein Shakes so that i got my Protein in for the day..today i woke up from a nap and was actually hungry so i had cream of potato Soup (liquified in the blender) ate about 4oz and felt full but boy did that taste sooooo good lol so far i have lost 8lbs..im loving being banded

yes, as you heal and start moving around more.(walking) you will see that you can tolerate more liquids. somewhere around day 7 or 8 you may start to actually feel hungry. those Protein Shakes seemed to have kept me bloated . which i may have confused with fullness. but anyway you slice it. the pounds are going to come off! congrats and i wish you a speedy recovery.

I am six days out and the first two days i could eat Protein Shakes. After that they made me sick as did almost everything else. I'm just drinking Water and hoping it will pass.
