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!!!

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!!

      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.
