Help; not getting full



Recommended Posts

I am not getting full after 4 ounces. I have tried to stop but then it is not fulling me up. I am hungry after about 3 hours but I try to do the right thing.

I got my first fill 2/5 - 2.5cc's; 2nd fill 2/9-1.4cc's; But gosh darnit I am still hungry. Not to mention my hubby took me to the Cheesecake Factory this past weekend and I did the right thing by ordering one of their weight management salads. But I ate the entire salad and still was hungry; I ate some of the bread; then I just stopped b/c I knew it was wrong. But gosh on my way home; I ate 1/2 of the slice of cheesecake my husband took to go.

HELP MEEEEEE; WHAT DO YOU THINK I NEED TO DO?

Well I have only one thing I can tell you based on my my own experience. I did not got any real restriction until my 6th fill. I was just patient with myself and my Dr. I finally got there and I am finally losing weight after hitting a wall. Just keep telling yourself that it will get better and nothing is going to happen over night.

The same thing happened to me once I was able to eat solids. I went to taco bell and ate 2 burritos and tacos and was like what the heck am i doing knowing it wasnt right. You will get to that sweet spot it might just take awhile. I have the AP large with 9.8cc in it and just got to my sweet spot.

You will do great!!!!

4 oz doesn't seem like enough. I have been told a cup of food for each meal. Sometimes I feel the same way. This weekend I had fondue and I think b/c the process is so drawn out that I was able to eat way more than I am supposed to so I called to get an appointment for an adjustment...then yesterday and today, I feel like anytime I eat something it gets stuck, so I canceled my appointment! I don't know, it is all still new to me so I decided I should wait a while longer before getting a 2nd fill.

Try to focus on eating the right things, I am sure you were given food options. You may eat more of it until you get restriction but you will be on your way. Even if you don't loose much at least you shouldn't gain. Best of luck!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
