I am having trouble figuring out when I am full. I am just about three weeks out and I just started soft foods. I am eating about 3 onces a meal but I feel like I am overeating. I eat the 3 ounces but I keep feeling overly full like I ate to much and I get a weird feeling overly full and I have this indigestion feeling in my throat. Am I eating to fast? how do you know when you are full?

Im 5 weeks out and also was going threw the same thing. What worked for me was eating a lil bit slower and taking smaller bites. Also make sure ur not drinking anything atleast a half hour before you eat. Its hard to know when ur full im still struggling with that part. I guess as we get further along the signs will be stronger... Good luck

That full feeling in my throat or that pressure I feel in my chest is when I know I CAN NOT take another bite. I find myself eating too fast because I have a fiance and kids that do not take 30 minutes to eat their meals. They are learning to slow down and try to enjoy meal time with me.

When I was that far out I could only eat about 2 oz at a time, so 3 oz might be a little too much. I agree that you need to eat a little more slowly and try to listen to your body - it will tell you when you're full!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
