I am so frustrated. I am almost 6 months out (VSG 5-15-15) and have never felt any fullness or restriction. I'm eating 2-3 cups of food COMFORTABLY! As I started eating soft/solid foods, I was following up with my nutritionist and had shared with her within the first month that I was feeling hungry and able to comfortably eat more than the 1/4 c of food they said I should be eating and she said not to worry, that the goal was to get up to 1 cup anyway. So I eventually started eating a little more and more because I felt hungry and wasn't feeling satiated with such a small amount of food. I started with all the suggestions I was given, eating the small amount in 10-15 minutes with no liquid and no distractions. I never got any kind of full feeling or any signal that said "hey you're full, that's enough." Last appointment I had which was supposed to be my 3 month follow up but ended up being 4 months, my dr. said I was supposed to be eating 3/4 cup of food per meal and that the feeling of "fullness is a common myth!" so I just need to practice eating "measured amounts." Well if I could successfully do that I would never have needed this surgery to begin with would I!? So at the time I was just kind of in shock and didn't really put up much of an argument but after the appointment and letting his comment sink in and talking to some friends I am extremely discouraged and frustrated. I was under the impression that the whole point of this surgery was to achieve that feeling of fullness with a very small amount of food which I have yet to experience and there's no reason to think that will change in the future as I'm aware that it usually goes the opposite way and I've heard of people stretching their stomach back out eventually. So I called my Dr to try to get an earlier appointment than my next 6 mo check up (11/17) and of course he's unavailable but I talked to the nutritionist (a new lady, I never had another appointment with the other one after my last 3-4 month appt because she no longer works there and this new lady wasn't there yet..) So I tried to tell her my concerns and she kept interrupting me and telling me that I just needed to eat "measured amounts." And then I got a call back from their office which I thought would be someone setting me up an earlier appt with my surgeon or a new surgeon but it was a lady setting me up with an appt with the psychologist! So feeling very stressed out that all of these people are going to continue to tell me hunger is mental and that I shouldn't expect to feel "full" despite all the reviews of everyone else I've seen who's had this procedure, I went back on their website and watched the video I had to watch before setting up my original appointment and sure enough on their YouTube seminar it says in black and white "Feeling of fullness is achieved when small stomach is full." So why is everyone telling me now that I should not expect to feel full? And why is it that I find on all of these forums that everyone else who's had this procedure gets that full feeling but I don't!? My sense of urgency within the past few weeks is because a friend mentioned that if I need some type or revision or additional surgery that I need to do it before the end of the year since my deductible has already been met so I don't have to pay all that money again! But when I talked to the lady setting my appt with the psychologist she said they wouldn't do surgery again so soon anyway so now I'm just feeling extremely irritated and discouraged. I feel like the surgery was for nothing. I mean yes I have lost about 40 lbs and that's great but it did not do what it was designed to do. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Are there other people out there who don't get that full feeling and just have to rely on self will to eat 1/4-1/2 c of food? Like I said, if I could have been successful at doing that before I wouldn't have needed/wanted the surgery to begin with! Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.
