I am almost 3 weeks out and sometimes it doesn't seem like I get full. Does anyone else feel that way. When that happens how do I know when to stop eating? I don't want to hinder my weight loss or stretch out my pouch. I thought I would get certain feelings when I am full. Can anyone help?

hey bud

at 3 weeks you are probably still on liquids

liquids usually will not give you that full feeling:wacko:

as time passes, you will start to eat solids and get

that "full" feeling - at that point one sign of being

full is you will sneeze, or hiccup/burp

way back when..... my hubby would yell to me

"oink oink, piggy" cuz he could here my different

sounds/noises when i was full!! LOL oh well, gotta love him !!!

doc told me to eat till i'm full, then stop 2 bites earlier;-)

follow all the rules, especially eat and drink sssssslowly

good luck

I am actually on soft foods. So I can eat regular food but only soft. That is why I am surprised I don't feel full

But the comments made about having nerves cut and stuff like that makes sense. I will continue to measure as I go. Thanks so much everyone!

Yes I get really hungry at night too. Not losing for that long can be discouraging. I haven't really lost anything in the last week. But I hear them say u hit a stopping point at week three so hopefully your time will come soon and u will see a weight decrease!!!

      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.
