After last small unfill I think I might be in the green zone. Even with more ccs in my band no more vomiting or getting stuck I can eat most anything that is not breaded or any type of bread. Now my problem how fast I get full and NO signs like before that said STOP now. Now if I have one bite too much - hour of pain. What happen to my hiccups that said STOP THIS MINUTE. Will it ever come back. Sometimes it could be ½ cup or less but every food is different but I can't find that stopping point. What happen? I have been the other way for 2+ years . . . .maybe I can now finally get the last 20 off. But the pain of one bite too many is almost more painful (stuffed feeling) than just throwing up. I feel like I had a big burger and some fries and then a fried apple pie (sorry to bring that up). Or old eating of Thanksgiving dinner stuffed and unhappy.

But it almost feels like if I could just throw up a small amount it would stop the stuffed feeling but I am not doing that but I can not seem to eyeball it like before and if I measure some food it is just too much depending on food. Anyone else, advice? Maybe I should do more very small meals instead of 2½ or 3

Working out like crazy to lose this last bit. Please tell me what you know?

Sometimes your full signal can be as simple as a sigh. Sometimes a tiny bit if a runny nose. Look for a "softer" sign.

I can understand the "sigh".

Sometimes I loose interest in eating. I feel that way between meals. That is my lack of appetite because I'm in the green zone.

When the hiccups start it usually means I have already crossed that threshold. First sign of being stuck.

With me it is usually a feeling of discomfort, like the food is just sitting there, which it probably is, accumulating in the upper pouch. May have a little tinge of pain.

At that point I will wait a little and then continue eating slowly. If the feeling comes right back, them I'm finished with that meal.

Seem to be getting better at judging but it does not take much to be full. Funny though cause I have more in my band than ever and no stuck feeling ,no throwing up, not use to this but it is nice!!

        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
