Feeling fuller sooner at times and other times feel I can eat more?



Recommended Posts

Hello

I am six months out. I have a very strange question/concern

Sometimes I eat let's say tuna fish, sometimes I can eat almost the whole can and other times, less than half the can and I am full. (with no other foods, like fillers i.e. celery carrots,etc.)

I sometimes feel that way with a piece of chicken too, sometimes four -- five bites and I am full other times, I can eat more without the fullness.

Also, who gets mucus at end of throat when they eat, should I be concerned. I had no GI problems, No GERD before surgery. It is not all the time, just the night meal.

Is this all in my head??? If so, ok, I can live with it, me a little Cuckoo at times anyway....LOL.

But seriously any others having these issues or concerns and is normal or is there a logical explanation?

Thank you in advance for your input and insight.

- M

I just posted about something similar. I have days where I can go without eating barely enough Protein and other days where I cannot get enough. I blamed it on the full moon :/ two weeks ago it was that TOM so I understood why along with the extra Water retention. I have no excuse now, esp since I don't get a TOM regularly now.

I haven't had the mucus issue either.

personally, i think it depends on the density of the food. meats i can only get down but so much...white fish i can eat a lot of, i can eat A LOT of crab meat thank goodness lol...shrimp...depends on how cooked...the tougher it is, i can eat less of it. the mushier it is...the more of it i can eat

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
