Filled? Discomfort? Satisfied?



Recommended Posts

Discomfort means you've overeaten or eaten too fast and perhaps not chewed thoroughly. In a perfect world you'll feel satisfied. You might think you could eat another couple of bites, but Eureka!, you don't need them.

In liquid and pureed phases, it was hard to tell since liquids flow freely through the sleeve, and it wasn't designed to stop liquids. With semi-solids to solids, it's completely different. Not so much filled, but satisfied, yes. I feel pressure in the back of the throat, sometimes pressure towards the back (around the diaphragm level). Once I took one bite too many, and I felt all clammy, dizzy and uncomfortable for about 20 minutes.

It's important to eat slow. Give plenty of time between bites. For me eating slow has let me get in tune with my body a little more and made it easier for me to recognize when I'm done. Eating to the point of discomfort is not wise, it's your body saying TOO MUCH!

I tend to get the hiccups and that is my sign that I've eaten enough. If I stop there I'm satisfied, but its a thin line... one or two more bites and I'm miserable.

I'm four weeks out and when I am close to full I get really frequent burps. I'm hoping this is temporary as it's annoying to have to belch a bunch of times, I don't want it to happen in public. I can't tell if this is my sign that I'm satisfied or if I ate two much. I have only overdid it twice and was so miserable. I wish I could tell when I was was satisfied.

I have a few "tells" that let me know I am done eating. I sneeze when I am full. I've done that as long as I can remember. I also sometimes get the hiccups. Since I had the sleeve if I eat to much I feel a lot of pressure in the middle of my chest. It's like the food is just sitting there. Very uncomfortable. I try not to get to that point.

Last night I decided to give yogurt a shot. Your body will give some sort of sign. In the beginning eating slow is probably one of the most important. I feel. Anyway. It's gives your brain the time it needs right now to process a satisfied feeling. Mine last night was on that last bite I ended up having it come right back up. I was surprised though it was just about 3/4 of THE containers

      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.
