Whats your "full" signal?



Recommended Posts

Runny nose. Also my stomach feels tight like uh uh you can't have another bite.

I get a tightness in my upper chest that can be a bit relieved by a burp. Anymore and I live with the uncomfortableness in my chest for about an hour. Still have yet to feel hungry... It's more like I'm empty feeling.

I'm a little over 3 weeks post op and have just started on soft foods in the last few days. I'm beginning to familiarize myself with my restriction. <br><br>

I think it's kind of funny how everyone's body signals them in different ways to let them know that they're full. What is your full signal?<br><br>

Mine is hiccups. It took me a few days to make the connection, but now that I've figured it out, I know that if I hiccup, I need to stop :-)

I get the burp and if I do not stop I get a horrible pain in my left shoulder! It is enough to make me stop!

Mine seems to be shortness of breath followed by a deep breath or yawn.

I still have yet to feel hungry either. I have not had a single hunger pain since surgery regardless of whether I eat or not, so I have t pay attention to my energy to know whether I need to eat.

My signal is the tightness in the chest followed by a burp or since post op I get this hacking/almost gag like cough. Once I stop eating, everything settles. Haven't pressed my luck. Because of this site, I learned to listen to my sleeve!

What's with the runny nose??? That's my sign, too. I have to eat very slowly or the runny nose happens AFTER that last bite I shouldn't have taken.

My "FULL" feeling is a very tight feeling in my chest. It hurts to breathe. I love the feeling...especially if I haven't really eaten much :-) I eat really good some days and other days I may be able to eat a couple bites and be full. It is weird.

The creature within will start showing up :D (buhaahahhaaahaaaa!) I'll get one burp like I'll be chewing and need to swallow but the burp will prevent me from doing it. Sometimes, I will spit it out and other times I will swallow past it - but then enough.

It's like an internal burp. I can feel it making it's way up the throat, but I just keep my mouth closed. It's a funny feeling and it let's me know I'm all done.

The runny nose thing is funny. I wonder why that happens. My sign is my upper right stomach gets a sharp pain right under my ribs. I know I should stop there if I eat anymore I feel too full and uncomfortable for the next hour or so. Almost nauseous.

I just started mushies today. I had a scrambled egg and ate the whole egg. I feel no different and wonder why I could eat so much. I felt no restriction burp nothing. I saw the Dr. today and joked with him was he sure he did the surgery because my stomach always feels empty.

Any one have any thought?

      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.
