I need help. I am 3 1/2 weeks postop, and I never get the full feeling when I eat. I do get a feeling of pain between my shoulder blades after about six or so bites. Is that the full feeling??

My full feeling is awful!!! Feels like someone is sitting on my chest I try really hard up not get to that point... I usually hiccup right before that feeling so I know to stop. Full isn't the same anymore... Give it time and u will know I am almost 10 months out abs still learning????

I haven't felt "full" in 4 yrs (was lapbanded 4 yrs ago. Revision 3 1/2 mths ago). I just KNOW when I've had enuf. If I go past that point I will vomit. Thankfully since being sleeved I've only vomited 2x (vs almost daily with the band).

So, no. I never actually feel "Thanksgiving full". Its a different feeling. Im scared if I feel full that I will slowly stretch my stomach and it will take more and more food to satiate me

I just don't want to push it and eat more. It says on my paper eat 1/8 cup of food. But I can eat like 1/2 without feeling anything

      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.
