12 days out and I don't know what "full" feels like?



Recommended Posts

I'm trying to go by my NUT's guidelines and not overdo it but I get hungry and eat and have never "felt" full. Have any of you experienced this?

Yes me too but it depends on what I'm eating and if I'm in pain I can't keep much down...The biggest I have ate is 5.3oz of yogurt and that's the whole container of the non fat geek yogurt but even if I'm not full I'm not going back for more or snacking...I just wish I would feel that FULL feeling but I don't...

I think the common misnomer here is that you should never really feel "full". You should feel satisfied. If you are hungry then eat. Your body is telling you that you need it. Once that hunger is gone, then you are good to go. I know some who have that full feeling, but keep in mind that the full feeling means you are also stretching your stomach out. That is not a good thing. You will just need to begin figuring out a new feeling for what it means to be satisfied instead of full.

If there is anything else I can do please let me know at the links below.

The above are all right. You aren't supposed to feel full. You are supposed to be satisfied, or not hungry. Your head will play tricks on you so be careful. Protein helps satisfy hunger. If I get hungry beyond my normal times, I eat a couple spoonfuls of cottage cheese and am satisfied. And I got some of my protein in. Eating sugar and white flour items make you think you are hungry more than you are. You need to focus on your protein.

I agree with the above statements focus on your Protein because it will keep you feeling full, as far as hungry it sounds lie head hunger, are any of you eating every three hours? You should be having small meals also this will prevent your body thinking it needs to hold onto everything. Focus on your protein , Water and follow your doctors advice good luck.

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
