Water, water, water

I'm 5 weeks out RNY! I'm drinking lots of water and really enjoying it! But today I'm stuffed! I'm so full from drinking this water. I did eat my lunch refried beans and salsa with just a small dollop of sour cream and yellow squash. Anybody else feel absolutely full from the water?

I'm 3 weeks out today, and would like to say YES!!!  I'm filled to the gills with water! Not much room for anything else and when I do try to "eat" something, I get stuffed so quickly. Amazing, this journey. (BTW your lunch sounds yummy!)

Thanks Suzanne it was yummy. You can find lots of helpful, delicious recipes on this site. Bless you on your journey!

I cannot seem to drink water except in small sips with pills. I dring Sobe Lifewater 0 calorie to get my daily fluids.
Are you stopping fluids 30 minutes before you eat? Fluids just go through your pouch, so they are not making you feel full. I am 8 weeks post-op and have no appetite. I eat because the clock tells me to, otherwise I would starve to death!
BTW, plain greek yogurt has way more protein than does sour cream, and to me it tastes the same. Switching it out for sour cream is a great way to boost protein and not sacrafice taste.

Hi Heather, yes...I made that mistake a couple of times forgetting to wait 30 minutes out, mainly before, but you learn quickly! Even so, just having water in the mornings when I get up, I notice I'm filling up too, and then dont seem to have room for breakfast.

Thanks for the tip on the yogurt...I'll try it!
