How do you know you're full



Recommended Posts

I don't get a feeling but I know how much I can handle. I never eat over 2.5oz of Protein and 1/4C of veggies in one sitting. I have only twice felt too full and it was very early on (week 2?) if I found I was getting hungry early (I drink at least 16oz of Water between meals and wait a minimum of 2 hours and up to 3 between meals) anyway my first thought would be what did I eat? Was it a slider? Am I thirsty? If I was really good I would add .5oz of Protein to my next meal. I started with 2 oz. I rarely make it thru all my veggies. If I find myself mindlessly eating I stop.

I should say I don't get the runny nose hiccups etc... I do feel full eventually

Why ate you eating veggies so early?Everything should be protein first until you are able to get the recommended amount.

I have absolutely no idea how to tell when I'm full either. I have no appetite. I can only tell when I drink that something is my stomach because my stomach will gurgle. I've been eating Soup but I've been using these tiny little bowls and eating just what's in the bowl. I can get about 3 1/2 meals out of a can of soup. I have no idea if I'm doing it right or wrong. I don't get uncomfortable or throw up after though. Here is a pic of the bowl and spoon I use. I bought three for a dollar at the Dollar General store. They were little ice cream bowls. IMAG1126.jpg

      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?
