Am I full or is that gas?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery May 1,2017 woke up in pain but the pain was from my throat they really did a number on my throat it was red and bloody. I'm still having pain it hurts to swallow which is kind of making it hard for me to do this liquid diet. But I force myself to eat but I notice when I sip my broth or tea I get a feeling in my stomach its like pressure rises up and then I might burp. I just was wondering if anyone else is or has experienced this. I don't know if its gas or am I full so I automatically just stop eating until I feel like I'm ready for more. I also think I'm not getting enough of something cause I feel lightheaded and very dry. Please help me I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Full feeling is really different now- don't even feel "full" down in my belly Region- it's a weird feeling much higher... the swelling will continue to go down making it easier just keep drinking small sips and try to exhale as you do... you are doing great!

That's a good way to put it. I agree. I was sleeved three days ago and experiencing the same thing. It takes forever to eat or drink everything. I feel like all I do is sip and nibble my three little portions each day and that's all I have time for. Lol

      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.
