To Feel Full



Recommended Posts

What does it feel like to feel full? I eat what is on my lists nothing more. Somedays I don't even Finnish what I have I front of me. I do drink my Water and am doing my twice a day Protein Drinks. But I dont feel full I just feel like I'm going thru the motions.

Any advice?

Same for me. I just eat the amount in supposed to then stop. My surgeon today told me to eat more solid foods. However I am 6 weeks out so I am allowed chicken and steak etc.

Same here, I feel as if I'm going through the motions yet I'm not really hungry as I should be but I'm forcing myself to eat every 2 hours as recommend by my nutritionist in the correct amounts. I'm keeping track of my Protein and Water intake through an excel spreadsheet so that I can show trends and statistics to my dr when I see them next.

To top it off it sounds as if my pouch is having a gran finale to a fireworks show with the amount of rumbling it's doing

I see from your profile that you're less than a week out from your surgery. Very common to not "feel" full for some time following the surgery. Everyone heals differently so the time varies. Nerves are cut during the surgery and the stretch sensors in your pouch are often (usually) affected. You're doing exactly what you should be doing and it's nothing to worry about. Everything will heal before you know it and you're pouch will start doing lots of talking - including "full". Speedydvr and I have pouches are especially gabby about all kinds of things! LOL! You're gonna love the new you!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
