I'm so full!! Is this normal??

I really tried to get my two cans of Protein in today?? but it was really hard, now I see what other's mean about this!! I just felt so full, so I stopped for awhile, I didn't want to get ill?? I'm just a few days out, so is this kind of stuff, normal?? I'm really amazed at how full I fill with just a few sips here and there? A lot of Gas too!! loose stools?? TMI-sorry? Does this stuff sound normal folks?? Let me know??? Thanks! jbug.

Yup.. you are normal.

Yes you are normal. Now you know your pouch is smaller and it is good that you are feeling full. Loose stools are normal too just because of what your body has been through. It's like a baby. Just remember to walk walk walk. Your doing great

In the morning after I take my chewable vitamin, calcium, and prevacid -- I'm full. I don't drink an entire bottle of protein every day. If your protein shake has 40 grams in it and you make 2 servings of it and have something else during the day, you get your protein in. During the first week, its important to drink lots of fluids -- the second week then you start concentrating on making your protein. If you're doing 8 ounces of protein -- its recommended you take an hour to drink it. If you're doing 4 ounces then half an hour. You're doing GREAT -- hang in there. The key thing is -- stop the minute you feel full.

Yes you are very normal!!!! My doctor told me to take gas x and that really helped me a ton. When you feel full yes stop... for me when I tried to pu**** I threw up. It does take time for you to be able to get all your protein in and all your liquids.. but it does get easier as time goes.

Thanks!!! for the information!! You guys are really the "Best" You folks are "Awesome" I 'm blessed to be on the Maryland, board with you folks!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! jbug

Way Normal Lady bug! It will be this way for quite some time to come. Be patient and take care of yourself. Gas pains can really get you sometimes. LOL.. Sincerely, Judy R

Hey girl, Yup just like everyone else said it is very normal. It took me 1 1/2 hours to finsih a 8 oz protein drink today. I thought I was going to throw up if I drank more. The loose stools are very normal and I still have them but less frequent thank goodness. The gas is a killer for sure. Praying that we all get better soon. lol Hugs, Cira

I have felt this from surgery day. I feel so full I can't take one more sip, but I can. I am on only clear liquids for 10 days, no protien. I have to take 15 mins to drink 2 ozs and then a 15 min break, to let the pouch drain I suppose, then repeat all day, if not sleeping. Everything sounds normal from what I've heard. Take care, Wanda
