Why am I not feeling the "full" effect? I'm on pureed foods now. I feel like I could continue to eat and eat...am I crazy?
You won't get the 'full' effect early on out. Some experience discomfort but no 'full' sensation. During the first few months it's more important to measure food by volume.
I'm 6 months out and still don't get a 'full' feeling. If I've eaten too much I start to sneeze.

Before the surgery I kept putting things off. I was never good enough. One of the benefits of WLS is that you start to believe in yourself. Check out my blog:

Sorry to tell you but Im 13 months out and I never get the full feeling unless I eat something as in normal food. ( food that I shouldnt be eating higher in calories carbs and fat) even then Its not the good full feeling you got before surgery. Im thinking that s gone forever. I dont know tho. karen
Hello,
I am still in the process of waiting for a surgery date. When I spoke with my nutritionist, she explained that the 1/2 of cup 3 times a day sounds ridiculous now, but after surgery, it is so hard to even get that down that you will be forcing yourself. So there is a chance I may never get a full feeling? And by full, do we mean Satisfied?
Thanks!

I'm allowed 2 medicine cups full of food per setting. Definetly something I gotta work on
I never got much in the way of "full" feeling until about six months out, and then only sporadically.... by 9 months it was consistent.
But pre-op FULL was a sort of comfortable discomfort. There's nothing at all comfortable about "full" now.... I dislike how it feels, and try to never feel it.
