I am nearly two weeks out and I wanted to find out if the way I feel full is normal. I Usually get the hiccups and then if I continue eating I get a tight/sore feeling to the right of my bell ybutton, almost on my side... I assume this means my sleeve is full to the brim?

I have heard that when you get the hiccups you should stop, and that when your nose runs it's a good indication that you are full. I don't think you should continue eating after hiccups....I would hate to see you stretch it out. My suggestion (not that you asked) would be to stop when the hiccups set in. I'm only 3 days out (I hope I will get my indicators up and running) I got my first runny nose yesterday....yay!

I feel like I ate a very large meal. I hiccup when I am full too. I am about 2 months out as well. I dont think that means you are "full to the brim". I just think that because the tube is so rigid that there isnt much give. So when your full it really pushes again the walls and gives that uncomfortable feeling. I found the best way for me not to feel uncomfortable is to stop when I feel satisfied and not keep pushing food in. I used to eat and just feel pain and a lot of discomfort. I try my best to stop as soon as I get that very satisfied feeling.

I have decided not to really ask this question anymore because everyday is different. Today I ate two cups of chilli from 1 to 5pm and never felt full, but satisfied. Sometimes it feels as though there are air pockets in between the pieces of food. Sometimes I don't feel anything and sometimes I feel like the food is in my throat so I just throw it up. I don't ever really feel full like I used to, but I am also not really hungry so when I am sort of hungry I eat a couple of bites and that feeling goes away. I love Soups and anything mushy no weird feelings just goes in. Eating regular food it still feels weird. I literally feel every bite go down in load itself into my stomach. I feel like eating is never normal and full will never happen again. I don't even really care about that feeling because that is the feeling that made me depressed. I just don't like the air pockets feelings.

I have not felt full or that tightness feeling in my chest and I am 10 weeks out.

I measure my food and usually don't even get to eat all of it. I eat until I no longer feel hungry and then I stop. I sometimes hiccup and feel pressure in my throat! That is most def when I stop if I haven't by then!

My problem is that I still eat too fast. My full signal is hiccups but if I eat fast I get them a little late and get a bad pain right at the base of my breastbone...ugh. I try to eat slow...but I'm not good at it.

Kids, that is exactly how I feel! I've asked my husband to watch my eating and remind me to slow down!

I can't imagine why it would hurt on your right side. The stomach is on the left side right? Maybe referred pain? Dunno. But I would stop before I felt that next time.

      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.
