How do you know when your pouch is full?



Recommended Posts

Four days out and I'm on.clear liquids. I was wondering what indications you have that your pouch is full. Also what does it feel like if you've taken a gulp as opposed to a sip.

A gulp will be somewhat painful going down at first.. Like a painful lump in your throat..The other is at this point not a true reading. You are still swollen from surgery and have not healed. You will not really get to know that for a while yet. But it is better to be on the safer side and sip a couple of ounces at a time and sip something often...K

Thank you RJ'S. It feels different then the first couple days. Nothing painful except once the second night, I woke up so thirsty and gulped away then realized what I had done. It was very uncomfortable for a short minute but then I was fine.

I had no sensation of full, at all, for about 6 weeks...nothing, nada, it was dead. My hunger signal was nausea, which was a pain in the butt.

Your nerve endings have not healed yet at 4 days. It takes months for the nerve ending to heal completely. Which is why it is so important to stick to measuring until you know your full feeling.

For me I feel like I have eaten thanksgiving. That overly stuffed feeling. Nausea was my hungry signal until about 1 year out.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
