Am I full? Should I eat?



Recommended Posts

All I've been thinking about while on my liquid diet is eating. Now that I have the clearance to eat certain things the idea isn't as appealing anymore. Today I ate an ounce of fish for bfast (forgot my bfast, so I ate some if my lunch cause I don't want to get in the habit of skipping). I has another ounce if fish for lunch and a mini babybel light cheese circle for a snack. I've been drinking Water all day. I don't want to eat, I think I'm full but I ate so little today I don't know if I'm supposed to force myself to eat to meet my Protein goal. I don't know if I'm full or just don't want to eat...

It's a tough call. I worried about that at first as well. I made Protein a priority and premade all me meals the day before. (I still do that!) . I explained to my nutritionist when I was 1 month out, that it was too hard to eat every 3 hours and I am always full. I asked if I could eat only when I'm hungry as long as I stick to the suggested foods for my stages. She said "absolutely". Your body will tell you. She did however, stress the importance of Breakfast. I think you are doing fine! Keep listening to your body and monitoring your protein and you will continue to be successful! :)

Thx Stephanie! That helps. I'm actually going to see my Nut today but this is such a huge change for me. I'm used to eating whether I'm hungry or not lol I even woke up this morning w/ that same full feeling.

Hi! I just had my surgery on 4/8/14 and I feel the same way. It takes me 2 hours to eat a 5.3oz yogurt. For now I just focus on trying to get my Protein and Water goals daily. I'm sure it will get better with time.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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!
