not hungry, not full question



Recommended Posts

so i eat my creamed Soup and really need to slow down. it is not like i eat it and it just comes back up it is just that it sort of just sits there, but there is no feeling of full. i don't have any warning signs and at some sittings i can eat more than others. i just feel like i should feel something, but i don't. it doesn't bother me because i am not hungry, but just want to see if this was a forever thing or if anyone can tell me in their words how they feel when they eat. i am almost 2 weeks out. the intial weightloss is quite scary since i am already down 30 pounds in less than two weeks. i hope it slows down. seems a bit too fast which was my biggest fear.

liquids just go through. You will feel a LOT more restriction when you move to mushies. Don't complain about the weight loss! Some of that is Water, as your body depletes its glycogen stores, and you don't have to worry--you won't continue to lose at that rate. Everything evens out as your body weight drops.

Seems like you're right on track and having great results!

What Meg said--You're not going to feel full on liquids. Since you won't get a full feeling, I suggest you start measuring your food, and keep measuring as you move to mushies. Measurement and listening to your body will help you not to overeat, get foamies, or vomit. When you start to eat solid food, you will figure out what your "full" signal is. Some people burp; some hiccup; some people get a runny nose.

As far as the weight loss, this is the golden time for you. You will never lose as much as fast as in the first month, and it will slow down pretty quick. I lost 17 lbs the first month (started at 232), 9 the second month, 7 the third month....five and a half months out and I am really happy I had the 17 lb bump the first month. You will be fine, and really grateful that you dropped a lot of weight early on when in month five or six you lose lots less.

      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.
