Brigiter replied to Brigiter's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yes, feel same way here! I can eat a whole yogurt of 150g with no problem, and don't really feel fullness sensation I should be expecting or as it was before, I have no problems drinking liquids at all actually gulping it down is no problem for me... I even can tolerate eating my liquids Soups and at the same time drinking Water etc, I guess that will change with solids... My Dr. Is an expert over 700 sleeves if not I would be doubting my result, only sensation is discomfort when I push to eat more I stop due to get scared for my new tummy but not really because I need to stop or feel full! I had the band for 4 years and that enlarged my pouch a bit maybe that's why, at this point I so hope afterwards I will be able to know this better... Had that my sleeve really works -
I feel the same I've tried hard but today I just sat down and cried feeling miserable and sorry for myself! I miss chewing I miss texture I miss the exciting moment of when you can eat and feel fulfilled! 9 days post op tomorrow and feeling like I want to kill myself! Harder than I thought

Today I had a crisis I cried for 3 hours feeling very miserable about only eating liquids! I have to confess crying made me feel better, I am 10 days post op tomorrow, did not do pre op diet due to low BMI and I was not prepared to just eat liquids! I mean this is horrible! I want to eat, more than hunger a miss texture, I want to chew! This is hard!! Hats off to all of you that go through this it's not easy at all! Feeling discouraged

As soon as I leave post op phases I will try CauliBread I LOVE your blog! Thank you thank you thank you! @@Smye -
I felt the same way 8 days ago, I was convinced I would not survive, hug you kid and assure her you will be ok, both of you get into that God(mahoma, buda,Adoni) will be looking over you, and visualize you getting out of surgery perfectly fine, from that point have no doubt, it's not something you can control anyway, but you can bring the best of energies to it and let it go!

What is feeling full post sleeved feel like?
Brigiter posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi I am new to the site and just got sleeved, I was banded 4 years ago. I am 8 days post op, I am having trouble understanding when my tummy is now full, I lost the full sensation that I knew, I don't really feel full any more like I used before, after more than 4 oz of food I feel pain and discomfort is this the new fullness sensation I should be waiting for? Also I don't really feel hungry as I used too, I now know that I am hungry when I feel anxious, is it only me? Am I a weirdo? I feel that I'm lost with this new tummy sensations so different than before -

Actually this is a picture of me 1 day before my surgery! I am a revision so I got my Lapband unfilled December 2014 and gained 15 pounds from December to May! The Lapband worked wonderful for me until I developed GERD, so hoping to get those 15 pounds of with my sleeve have to say tho I am very conscious with eating natural healthy foods and I do hot yoga 3 times a week, still managed to gain 15 pounds being careful! I've already lost 10 in the week post op! So almost there! -

Yes I guess each Dr. Is different I was not told I cannot use the blender I was told to be careful what ever I put in my mouth is liquify, I wasn't told I can't play with flavors actually natural spices like garlic can contribute on your healing. It's a natural antibiotic, I do recommend each of is to follow your Dr. Instructions, I and 1 week post op and have had fabulous Soups , all liquified with taste! Last recipe I tried yesterday : Bought Swanson Thai broth, added coconut milk and thin cut cilantro it was yummy and filling, no problems at all with my new tummy!
