Hello,
Most people complain early satiety after Whipple procedure. It is due to bile leak and a portion of the bowel is removed.
You will get adjusted to it a couple of months time. As of now try a small meal infrequent intervals.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
