What does full feel like?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

It's been one week since my surgery. Things seem to be going well. I have been tolerating fluids and Protein so far. I have been following exactly what I am supposed to do so I haven't felt "full" yet.

I am wondering what it does feel like to be full? Do you have the same feeling as before surgery? A few times I thought I have probably drank too much Water at one time, but no negative effects came to be.

You're not going to feel full this early out unless you really overdo it. For me, overeating causes discomfort and gas. I rarely ate to being "full" during my losing and healing stage. Measuring portions made sure #1 I didn't consume too many calories #2 Ensured I would not feel pain.

I have overeaten a couple of times to the point of being stuffed, I was miserable for hours, and it took forever for the food to pass.

Right now, your stomach nerves are still healing, and everything is pretty confused in there. You'll start feeling restriction when you move to fuller liquids and mushy food.< /p>

Thank you so much for not only replying to my questions, but for all your repsonses. I have read many of them and you are truly an inspiration! It's wonderful of you to help many of us out even though it seems like you have made it!! I look forward to being in your position and helping others.

How many calories did you aim for during the weight loss stage? How much Protein did you aim for? My Dr. has not really given me a calorie goal, just Protein, but that may come later.

Thank you so much. I'm glad I'm here to be able to help.

My guidelines were 600-800 calories, minimum of 60gr of protein and no more than 30gr of carbs.

On liquids, protein and fluids were most important. Once I hit mushies/purees, I could get all my protein in via food sources.

      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.
