Still baffled on fullness!



Recommended Posts

I am 2 weeks out and still baffled at how little food I am eating and yet I am not ever hungry. I just ate one egg....well not even one egg, couldn't get it all down. Yesterday at 1p, had 5 bites of thinned mashed potatoes and was Thanksgiving day dinner stuffed until I went to bed. REALLY?? Can it be this easy? I'm losing about a pound a day and I'm not suffering in the least. That was a big concern of mine, that I'd get the "no food migraine" or nauseous from not eating. Thankfully none of that happens. Four more lbs til I'm the skinniest I've been in years....and that should happen about Sunday...woot woot!!

Congrats on your success already.

Remember, you are learning about your new body, so be patient. In time you will learn fullness and now is the time to measure everything. Eventually you can eyeball what you can and can not eat. Even at 4+ months out I sometimes forget and fill my plate, laughing "who am I kidding?" You will learn fullness by your body response. Sometimes I get excess siliva (gross) or hiccup when eating to quickly. Best wishes on a speedy recovery and more success!

Yep, 2 months out and a hard boiled egg is a BIG Breakfast, to get it, my Vitamins & pills and a small glass of Water with Miralax and I am stuffed. It takes me about 1/2 hour to down them all.

We are lucky, a FEW sleevers have reported that they feel hungry all the time. Glad I am not in that group.

QFT!

I guess we got lucky, but it's hard for me to imagine it's all luck. I DO feel hunger sometimes, but then I remember that part of my stomach was cut out and it must all be in my head. That seems to help. laugh.gif

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
