Am I full or not full that's the question!?



Recommended Posts

Can someone please tell me some signs and symptoms that when you know you are full?

I don't want to keep eating/drinking and feel miserable! And I don't want my new stomach to stretch!

Please help!

Thank you!

Then only eat the amounts you are supposed to eat and on the schedule you are supposed to eat them.

Follow the guidelines your surgeon and nutritionist established for you.

Eating until you are satisfied isn't the goal.

Getting proper nutrition is.

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh but it simply is the truth. It's the same truth that all healthy people live with.

Full is no longer the goal. Being sated is. Typically if you are feeling that old belly tightness feeling you've eaten too much. Stick your meal plan/calorie & Protein goals and stop.

Agreeing with the other posters. You don't eat to be full, you really want to avoid being full, if you ever get full you will learn why. Weigh and measure your food and eat the recommend weight/volume for your stage.

You will be satisfied.

You have to learn this technique early and continue to practice it or you are going to get into trouble later on.

It seems like every time I'm eating, I hiccup and idk if that means stop!

I'm on my full liquids and eating small bites and taking it slow. And like they say sip sip sip!

My stomach basically cramps or I feel the pressure as if I have to burp, but can't. More than likely though, the cramping hits first which usually means trying to stuff too much in at one time and that I have to slow down. I do the timer - 30 minutes for a meal and then I'm done.

I can't say I'm satisfied or not because I don't feel hunger. I eat more for the carbs, calories and Protein at this point.

I was sleeved on 9/15/2015. I eat 4 ounces of Protein 3 times per day. I have just started to add a couple of green Beans to the mix. Anything more than that and it has come right back up.

Everyone is different but for me, hiccups mean stop. It also sometimes means I am eating too fast, but hiccups are my sign to sop.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
