I have a concern, I do not have a full feeling after drinking or now eating my cottage cheese dinner.  Since the surg. I have not had any vomiting or dumping.  I can drink 4 to 6oz w/o a full feeling.  Is it all in my head??  I have had 2 barium x-ray to check for leaks( both Negative).  Today was my 2oz cottage cheese lunch and 2-4 oz cream of wheat diner.   Thanks Lora

I've always heard that for the first month you won't feel full because the stomach nerves have been cut, plus the stomach is still swollen. The general advice is that for the first month you have to measure your food and eat exactly the amount you're supposed to, because you won't feel that "fullness" to tell you you're done. But it should come back when everything heals. Just give it time.
