Question:
I WORDED MY QUESTION WRONG

I ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT MY POUCH FEELING FULL. I HAD GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY AND NOT LAPBAND SURGERY. I WAS SAYING THAT MY POUCH DOSEN'T FEEL FULL IS THIS BECAUSE I AM NOT ON SOLID FOODS YET? ANYONE WHO CAN OFFER ANY ADVICE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED THXS!    — kfarmer (posted on August 3, 2007)

It could be. Wait til you are out 6 months and it NEVER feels full, you have to be the one to control how much goes into your pouch. If not you could start gaining weight. Remember "HEADHUNGER" at 6 months out. Your body does not need it your heada just wants it. Best of Luck!!

Yes, it is because you are not on solid foods yet. You should be able to feel full after starting solid foods, however each person is different. Just listen to your body when it tells you something, and stop to think if it could be head hunger as that is something we are going to have to fight for a LONG time. Good luck and God Bless!

Hi Kimberlie, I rarely feel full with just liquid. You will have to wait and see on this one, just go slow and easy. Take care. Patricia P.

Most likely, yes. Although.....to this day (almost 6 months out), I still do not feel traditionally full. I get a bit uncomfortable if I eat more than 4-5 oz. I still haven't got my appetite back either. So I am not hungry and don't feel full. So I monitor my food intake and stay to 4-5 oz. per meal. You may start to feel differently after you start solids - I know everything felt different with each transition/phase of eating. Good luck.
