Why do i feel like this?



Recommended Posts

I am 5 weeks out and feel like if I can eat anything. Of course I don't. I'm on soft foods but physically feel as if I can eat anything. Sometimes I feel like if I wasn't sleeved. Also sometimes I feel as if I ate too much in 1 sitting.

Example Breakfast was 1 soft scrambled egg and 1 slice of deli turkey breast

Lunch- green peas Soup about 4-5 ounces.

Am I eating too much in 1 serving?

Is my feeling of not being sleeved normal????????

Once you start eating more dense Protein you will feel the restriction more. Things like Soup will always go down easier and you will be able to eat more.

Oh and I think the Breakfast sounds about right :)

i agree. I am four weeks out and i am on soft foods.... I had cream of wheat today for breakfast with mashed bananana. I had for lunch a cheese stick with 2 slices turkey breast. I keep thinking im going to vomit or slime havent yet. My tummy feels tight and i drink Water in between meals. This is all so surreal. I stepped on scale Monday and i am down 30lbs :).... I pray my pouch is being stretched. I start burping and thats my cue to stop because i dont want to keep going. I was only able to maybe take 5-6 bites of cream of wheat and i wasnt able to finish the second piece of turkey breast so i stopped and threw it away. I feel stuffed but happy. Just wanted to share...Blessings

Yeah your amounts you listed are the same as what I was eating at that stage. When you progress to solids you'll be able to tell when you get full.

That's another thing, if I start burping I stop eating because I've read here that , that means in full. But really it isn't that I feel full. Normal?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
