I feel so full...



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve surgery June 22. No real problems- however, I am finding it increasingly difficult to get all my required liquids in.I am sipping Vitamin Water xxx zero ( which I like alot) but after a few sips I feel uncomfortably full. Eating is a chore, too.I have found that even 1/4 cup or 3 tablespoons of something makes feel so full... however, I LOVE and can tolerate 1 cup of yoghurt. Greek yohurt, and regular . Anyone else has similiar issues?

Do you mean June or July 22? Either way that sounds pretty normal. I'm 6/30 and I manly feel like that with dense Proteins now.

It's very frustrating! ! I feel like I want to eat, (but without any hunger)- then eat a few mouthfuls - and I feel stuffed!! I should be rejoicing at my constant and steady weight loss- however, I worry that I'm not getting all my fluids and Protein in

You sound like your doing fine and things are normal. It takes a little while to get up to your goal for food and fluids. Give yourself time

I got my sleeve June 10. I have been having a horrible time with Water. I've been really thirsty but am lucky to get down 25 oz in an entire day. My NUT suggested iced herbal tea and today I've been able to drink just over 50 oz! Don't know why I can handle tea, but water makes me sick. But hey, just happy that it works.

@BariartricBarb I am 13 months post op and Water still bothers me. It's weird; my sleeve can tolerate almost any kind of food but it's so picky about fluids. I can do Vitamin water and propel (black cherry and peach only). Fluids are always a struggle for me

Is it that you don't like taste or temp of water or are you having pain? Try changing temp or adding a squirt of lemon. If it is pain try sipping very slow.

@@Bndtoslv, My problem is pain a nausea. I've always been a Water drinker. Have never gone for soda or flavored drinks. It doesn't matter if the water is tepid or cold. I've tried flavor enhancers and don't like the taste. This has been the biggest and hardest change for me. I was final able to get all of my Fluid yesterday by drinking the tea. I just hope this isn't a forever thing

Have you tried Diet V8 Splash there drink is very flavorful but I have to really dilute cause I'm having some problems with anything sweet. But I like the tropical one it's more of an orange flavor.

Plain Water gives me major heartburn. I have to do something else with it.

I'm having a problem with sweets as well. But I'll dilute it and give it a try

      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.
