Hi,

I am 13 days post of and have a question.

After I eat I have this feeling of food or liquid sitting at the back of my throat. It feel like I could throw up if I tried but it just sits there. After awhile it subsides and disappears.

It's kind of hard to describe but I have been using this as a sign of fullness. Is this true?

Thanks.

Will

I do believe that's one way to describe it.

For me it's not in my throat but right at the top of my tummy.

Whew... good.

It's hard to figure out the new sensations. I am currently trying to figure out head hunger and real hunger. That's a pickle.

I'm used to shoveling food in anytime, all the time that I forgot what real hunger felt like. Now I have to figure out what the new hunger is. lol..

That may be the reason. I still eat to fast.

I am having trouble slowing down. I'll have to work on that.

It took me a long time, you will get to a place (as long as you eat slowly and pay attention) where you can recognize the bite that is one bite away from discomfort. Once you've hit the discomfort or it feels like its in your throat you've gone too far. You will get it. Pay attention to your body.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
