Probably, esp. once you’re eating solid proteins. The mushy stuff can run thru
so quick that you never get the feeling of full.
Solid protein - beef, pork, or chicken, some protein bars that are dense, will
temporarily block the stoma, and create pressure in the pouch, producing a
feeling of fullness.
Ground meats, eggs and cheese will do this to some extent, but not as well.
Don’t eat soup or really wet foods, they will help to wash food out of the
pouch, making you lose the sensation of full.
Good luck -

Hi all!
I was wondering if someone could answer a question.
I had surgery on 8/12/3. Right now i’m on pureed foods. I can’t tell
when i’m full. Will it be easier to tell when i’m full when i start
solid foods?
Thanks
