Full liquids... Filling?



Recommended Posts

Hello all, I just switched to full liquids and had about 4oz of Tomato soup... It was so delicious after being on Clear Liquids for a week. Afterwards I didn't have that "full" feeling that I was expecting. I felt satisfied but not full. I thought I had read on here that some people will take 3 spoonfuls and feel "stuffed"... So I was kinda expecting that too. Can anyone else tell me how they felt during this phase. Maybe I won't actually get that "stuffed" feeling until I eat solids?

What you are feeling is perfectly normal! When you drink or consume liquids that aren't very thick, you're not going to feel very full because your polyvoric valve is not being closed. You read people saying they are stuffed after 3-4 bites because they are talking about solid protiens like chicken or beef. The more solid the food item, the more it will close the valve, and the faster you will get full. Don't worry about feeling full now, you will have PLENTY of full feelings later! Don't worry, and congrats on being sleeved! Woo-hoo!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
