How Can I Tell When My Sleeve Is Full



Recommended Posts

I am almost 5 months out and it's usually between 7-9 bites for me. Once I hit that point, I wait a few minutes and if I get 5 hiccups, I know I'm done. Very good job eating the chicken first! Good luck and you will figure it all out in time.

I am 8 days out and still learning. Tonight I guess i ate one bite too many of creamed Soup and all of a sudden I was nauseous LOL like outta nowhere. Guess maybe I need to slow down even more and pay closer attention LOL

Don't feel bad, I made 1 month out yesterday, and it's only been this week, that I haven't slimed or threw up. Needless to say, I finally slowed down and started looking for signs.

I just had a cup of salad with a few grilled chicken cubes and I am so miserably full. This is the first time I ate fast and didn't go slow to feel my full signal.

I will never do this again. Oh man, I am hurting.

Always go slow!!!

Yeah, everyone's different but it seems that hiccups, a bunch of burps, "stuck in throat" feeling are the most common. I also get the runny nose.

Immediately post-op the difference between FULL and TOO FULL is like ONE LOUSY TEASPOON of food. Too much and you are in agony and most likely will barf. So take it easy, watch for the signals and know when enough is enough.

It's like the story of my life I just read! As we speak, I just finished my dinner of funny mashed potatos, and every one of these symptoms happened. Starting with the talking tummy, then the 1 hiccup, followed by tiny lump in throat, then a very slight runny nose and I'm sitting here now feeling full! Lol crazy. :)

      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.
