What Im I Suppose To Feel



Recommended Posts

Feeling full for me feels the same as feeling full before surgery. When I have one bite too many it's super painful (but I'm a pain wuss).

If I have eaten to much I feel full even in my throat. Kinda like nothing else will go down.

When I feel full, my stomach feels heavy and uncomfortable. Sometimes I feel like I want to vomit but I try not to go to that dark place. I don't like that feeling.

When I'm "full" I'm ok....the problem is "OVERfull"!! When I've had as little as one nibbly bite too much my chest (like behind my sternum) starts to HURT...it becomes difficult to take in a deep breath...it feels like there is food filling my esophagus...I start burping non-stop...it's extremely uncomfortable, and can last as long as an hour or 90 minutes. I try to avoid the feeling as much as possible by taking small bites, and eating very slowly. A "comfortable full" feels much the same as before surgery. But now I find I miss that point very easily if I don't eat slowly (to give my body the time it needs to recognize that it's full)...because it really is as little as one bite between "omfortable full" and "I want to die OVERfull"!! Best of luck!

I am two weeks out. I have not gotten sick once, when I am full I hiccup once, I never used to but I am glad my body is telling me when I am full. Maybe try closing your eyes and trying to listen and feel what your body is telling you. That sounds weird, but it has been working for me. Good luck to you.

      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.
