What is wrong with me?? (XPost Illinois & RNY Board)

Im 5 weeks out today, I lost 26 pounds. But I concerned, I never feel full?! The 3rd and 4th week I felt hungry all the time! That has passed, but I dont ever really feel full? I just stop eating so I dont over do it. Any suggestions?

The nerve endings in your newly formed pouch have not healed in order to have the sensation of feeling full. It will eventually return. You are doing it correctly by making sure that you do not overeat.

edited for spelling.

26 lbs in 5 weeks....Congrats.   You will eventually get the full feeling.  I have to concentrate on when I am full too.  I usually no because my nose starts to run......lovely!!

How are you feeling otherwise?

I get the runny nose also but I mostly get the sneezes like crazy.

Christine thank you for the heads up about it taking time to feel full.

You are welcome.

PS, I never told you this but in your avatar you look just like a girl I work with. I did a double take the first time I saw your picture.

that is so funny :)
