I'm in the same boat. I get full very quick and at times I get mad because I feel like I was just getting into eating this, and bamn, no more hunger signals start coming from the sleeve. On the bright side I don't spend a lot of money on food. When I used to eat like crazy I would spend so much money at fast food places it was crazy sometimes 300 in a month for 2 people. Now I don't even care about fast food and it just doesn't make sense to spend money on something I can't really eat. So far I'm always able to eat a whole pouch of Starkist light tuna salad in a 100 calorie pack all the time. Other than that its always half of anything else bigger. A few days back I made home made cheeseburgers for me, and the wife ,we both didn't get much down . Its nerve wrecking and a life saver. I can never see me over eating or becoming that crazy over food again.

I was sleeved on July 25. My wife, who was sleeved over a year ago, says I am eating too fast. I think she is right, I have slowed down and the problem with filling up so fast has gotten better. Eating quickly is a difficult habit to break because you have done it for so long. You might slow down, chew 30 times for each bite and put down fork between bites.

Mostly, I can get about 4 or 5 bites in before I am full. I have noticed that some days I can get more in but not much. I also think I eat too fast. That is one habit that is really hard to break. And when I chew my food really well, it kind of makes me nauseous.

I think it is part of the plan.I have a new habit. I like to knit 8" squares for blankets orphans in South africa and so i take a tiny bite chew well and knit two rows, then time for my next bite. i could not believe how much easier it was to eat a full meal ( half a cup). no problems, not burps, not pressure--and i hate the pressure. Still felt full at the end but a comfortable easy onset full. I expect to be making a ton of squares.

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

      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
