Scared of not feeling full



Recommended Posts

Ok, among a few other things i'm scared about one of the main ones is after surgery. I've read articles where patients who undergo gastric bypass don't report feeling as full as they think they should. With a smaller stomach you should feel full with 4 ounces of drink/food, correct? I'm scared i won't feel that feeling of being full and overeat again, not lose the weight and be back in the same boat. Anyone that can help me shed some light on this?

Yeah, I don't get that feeling. I have to measure. Twice now I've eaten too much (like three ounces instead of two), and it makes me physically sick. Nauseated for hours. I'm learning.

If you do overeat chances are you're going to make yourself sick.. When I forget t pay attention and take my thoughts me even a slight amount too much makes me very uncomfy and/or throw up

I think what it is is its a whole different feeling than what it use to be like to be full and it takes time to learn it.. But you're not going to be able to way over eat because your belly just isn't going to let you.. I mean if you do it on a regular basis I suppose eventually it could happen..

      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?
