I did not have a full sensation unit I was 3 months post op. Everyone is different, however I didn't get the full sensation like before. I get a slight presser which later I found that was my full sensation. I did over eat a few times and felt as if a swallowed fish gravel and my new arraignment made sure everything came up before it went away. Don't eat too fast take your time and wait a few minutes between bites. Don't be alarmed this to me was all part of the healing process. I wish you well. Email me any time if you have a question, I'll be glad to tell you what I can. :))

I'm almost two months out now and I also hardly ever get a full feeling. But I know from experience how much I can eat of something. I can eat a whole grilled cheese sandwich or peanut butter and jelly sandwich. But a sloppy joe I can only eat 1/2 of sandwich. I dont get full feeling but sometimes can feel that I just had enough and need to stop. I'm hoping as the months go on I will eventually have that full feeling after eating a certain amount.
