I'm 8 days post op, and I'm having trouble figuring out what feeling "full" feels like? I had a half of yogurt today and a pop ice, and I was kinda feeling bloated. Is that what it feels like? I know what the hungry feeling is cuz my stomach churns, but I'm just having trouble figuring out the full feeling. Can anyone explain?

I am siz days post op and I was not hungry for those six days. My stomac is making sounds but I attribute that to the gas. There was a post about soft indicators and one thing I notice is that when I am "full" my noise runs. Go figure!!:scared2:

Fullness for me means a feeling of having "just enough", where I could eat more if I really wanted to. But if I kept eating, I would get really uncomfortable, like a bloated heaviness. It's a very subtle line, and I have crossed it several times, but I am learning to listen to my body.

i think for me it's a pain in the chest area. i'm still on liquids but i can tell when i'm drinking too fast because i feel a pain in the chest like it's hard to get all the way down. a friend of mine (who was banded almost two years ago) has been kinda "coaching" me on the feelings of things and she says the pain in the chest is the restriction and the sign that you are filling up. lol

Hmmm okay. I'll have to learn to read my body. I haven't actually had the feeling of the pain in the chest, so I probably haven't over done myself, which is good! I just kinda stop when I don't feel hungry. Thanks for all the info :scared2:

I'm 8 days post op and for me it's like a bloated feeling, tightness in my stomach I can feel. I'm still on liquids and will remain on liquids for two more weeks so I haven't experienced alot of bloating with liquids yet. :scared2:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
