Sleeved 5/25/17: why do I feel like I am eating too much?



Recommended Posts

So I am buying my 2nd week mark in 3 days but I feel like I am able to take in a lot more that what it seems I should be. I have no problem getting Water down (some gas bubbles here and there but nothing painful) and same thing with my Protein Drinks. Now that I can eat yogurt I and able to eat at least 4 yogurts a day (they are 5.3oz each) I eat 4 which give me 60g of Protein and I have been drinking my water. But I haven't any restriction or "full" feeling.

Also once I moved to yogurt I haven't lost anything for 4 days now... is any of this normal?

Depending on the yogurt it might have a lot of sugar. Do they have more than 5g of sugar per serving?

Everything you are "eating" is a liquid. So there is no reason you shouldn't be able to have them. Depending on the type of yogurt it isn't much thicker than a Protein Shake.

You don't lose every day, or every week.

I would just check the nutritional value of the yogurt.

Are you on soft foods now, or just eating yogurt along with full liquids? My diet was advanced to mushy foods today and I had my first meal (LF refried beans). Over the last few days on full liquids I didn't feel much restriction and could take my fluids and Protein Shakes easily and had a few times where I felt legit hungry, but when I tried the Beans today I couldn't take more than a few spoonfuls. The restriction will come.

As far as yogurt.. there's lots of different types. There is the dense, greek-style that has a good amount of Protein, and then there are sugary low protein types that I call "candy yogurt." I haven't dug into my yogurt yet, but I imagine the candy yogurts will not provide much restriction. Something like Fage would probably be more filling. I have also heard some people say that yogurt is a slider for them, regardless of brand. So there's that possibility.

I'm not on soft/purée foods yet, my doctor has a step in between were you can start on yogurt, sugar free pudding, cottage cheese etc.... I have been eating only Greek yogurt the candy kind isn't allowed. It might b ether flavors that are easy to take, but I also space them out by a few hours so it's not like I'm sitting there downing Greek yogurt 🤣 I have heard that the restriction doesn't come till starting the soft foods... the scale finally broke and I lost a lb. I think I just mis chewing things [emoji31] I appreciate the feedback!

I understand missing chewing completely!!! I am a day shy of full liquids and can't wait to have something heavier (been on clear for a week) but if I drink too big of a gulp or too fast I feel a "tightening" in my chest I assumed that was the restriction??? And I feel like nothing else will go down, if I try I will spit it up like a bottle of Water full to the rim.

      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?
