How Do I Know When I Am Full?



Recommended Posts

So how much should I be drinking at one time? When I drink or suck Jello, I get very bad cramps. I just got out of the hospital yesterday and it was worst in the hospital. The cramping is lower abdomen not upper, it only happens when I take in something by mouth. Any suggestions anyone?

Hi! I just got out of hospital yesterday, I was sleeved on Tuesday...I was having issues myself, same as you, I found that when i had anything cold, that cramped me up, and had extreme pain right under my breasts! I found that sipping on room temperature water/diet snapple/apple juice and Unjury chicken broth, settled real nice...i wanted Ice Water a few minutes ago, took 2 sips, and Wham! my sleeve didn't like it at all! But I am sooo thirsty and I'm dying for a sip of Coffee!! Hope you feel better, try room temp drinks for today, see how that works for ya!

I had my surgery on Wednesday and I get bad cramping/gas pains also. I'm hoping its normal and will get better, I noticed it gets better when I walk but it's so sore where the drain is, it's not to comfortable walking to much. I've only had tea and Water and just a little at a time. From what I read by day 4 or 5 it should get better. Hope so!!!

I haven't had any gas but cramping was bad, I don't have a drain....today I'm feeling pretty good, just a little weak...good luck, lets all try to stay on each other! (that sounded a little perverted didn't it?) :o lets all keep intouch!

How much Water are have you gotten in today and are you on a clear liquid or full liquid diet. I am on a liquid diet and I have drank 24 ounces, some Jello and a popsicle today so far. Still cramping though and was nauseated about an hour ago.

I was sleeved Tuesday and home from hospital Wednesday. My nausea has finally subsided. I'm living on Water Gatorade and Jello. As a treat I'll have an Italian ice. I'm having a hard time getting my fluids in as well but am feeling pretty good. I tell ya what, I definitely feel like I want something other than clear liquids!!

      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. 🤞
