Help I don't know if this is normal...

As Kelly said, the pouch size has absolutely nothing to do with sweets, and at 2 months out you should probably not KNOW whether sweets make you sick or not if you are following your food plan.

Some people who are obese do not respond to "full" signals properly.  There are a number of theories about WHY -- and it may, of course, be a combination of things rather than just one -- but two of the more prominent ones are the "high" that some people feel from food may actually cause a change in the brain similar to that of alcohol or drugs and interfere with the normal satiety signals, and that we train ourselves (unconsciously) to ignore those signals until we are uncomfortably full (so that we can continue to enjoy more of the food) and then continue to ignore them post-op (and never feel full because with the smaller pouch, we can never get that seem "OVER full" sensation that we previously interpreted as "full").

Also, what are you eating in terms of the density of foods?  If you are still eating lots of soft foods rather than dense proteins (chicken, beef, dense fish like tuna), that may be the reason.  Soft foods slide through the stoma and out of the pouch relatively quickly whereas dense foods stay longer and therefore create a stronger sense of fullness with less food.

If you believe you are overeating, measure your foods.

Want me to wish for you to spend a night lying in bed praying for death you are so sick, will that make you happy and compliant, or are you gonna keep eating ******g crap and staying fat and begging for a revision in a year.  You decide how to play this, no one is gonna pull the sweets from your hand, thats your job.

Hi again,

Thanks for the replies. I just did not know if this was normal to feel full. When I was in the hospital and right after I was never really hungry and I get hungry and do not feel really feel full.

But it looks like it might be normal to feel this. I tried sweets twice once to see what it does to me and the second time because I was at a birthday party. But other than I eat sugar-free.

Maybe I just panicked for no reason. I just want to make sure I am doing everything I am suppose to.

Thank you all so much,

At first I wasnt sure what I felt, but I stuck to the measuring and to the diet.  I am 2 months and a few days out and I am starting to realize that feeling of fullness.  I never really feel hungry other that that pesky mind hunger and even that is less and less.  Hang in there!
