It is not unusual to feel “less full” after the first month or two.
However, you should not be able to eat anywhere near the same portions you
were eating prior to surgery. If that is the case, your stomach has to be
examined to make sure that enough of it was removed. Assuming your surgery
was done correctly, you are actually doing the right thing by stopping
before you are full. Your goal is to never feel completely full. Always
keep in mind that hunger is triggered by many different things, not just
your stomach. Your surgery will help curb your appetite to but you have to
train yourself to maintain your small portions and your body and mind will
adapt.
