When will i get that 'full' feeling?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Monday but I am still on the liquids phase barely surviving...i have yet to feel satisfied?? Does the full feeling come first with the soft, mushy or solid phase??

I'm still not sure what the full feeling is either. I just know that I haven't felt hungry, but just made sure I got in my Protein and fluids. I'm on mushy foods and I do measure to make sure I don't get in more than one cup at a time. My doctor used a 38 bougie, so I think that helps with me not feeling the stricture much unless I take too big a swallow.

Are you drinking Protein shakes? You can also eat Jello , cream of broccoli Soup strained. Yogurt. Well I should say I was allowed.

Usually when I feel full, it's because I ate too much and I get pain in my stomach. So I just eat to curve my appetite. I no longer feel the need to feel full.

My nut said that in liquid phase I could blend mashed taters in broth.< /p>

I started actually feeling full 2 weeks ago and I am 5 weeks out.

I never felt full on liquids, but never felt hungry either. I just started my phase 3, pureed foods, and last night I felt full for the first time with pureed potato Soup.< /p>

It takes a while to learn what the different feelings mean. I'm only 2 1/2 weeks out and still haven't completely learned but I have figured out the full feeling. By this time you should be able to have sf Popsicles, Water, Decaf tea, crystal light, yogurt but no "fruit at the bottom (I buy the Dannon light & fit Greek due to calories, sugar, carbs, and protein), creamed Soups (no potato or corn due to them just being starches), cottage cheese, and Protein Shakes. Drink as often as you can but a lot of your "hunger" right now is in the head. I still see things and think I'm hungry when in reality I'm not. Good luck!

Hey don't worry you'll soon figure out your full at the moment your just like a baby on a bottle of milk for the first couple of weeks then it hits you TOO MUCH I FEEL STUFFED... you'll try to push it and try different ways ...,then for me it started am I getting in enough have I had enough Water today..... then you'll find yourself googling and realise this has happened I mean realy happened the reality of the old you has gone no more snacking no more Cookies you don't want to eat and you ACTUALLY put food in the bin instead of your mouth

No more waste disposal unit for food

So enjoy the moment it won't be long before reality bites

Keep sippin and nibbling : )

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
