I was the same when I was on the liquid stage, but once I started to eat real food, my restriction grew and I felt full. So don't worry it's normal. Liquid passes quickly and doesn't sit on your stomach too long.

I was the same way I had no problems with my fluids but I didn't feel hungry but that went away about the second week I started feeling hunger a little bit couldn't wait to get to the primary stage by week 3 but now that I'm on solid foods I have to eat about 6 times a day cuz I can only eat maybe five or six bites and stuff at the most a half a cup at a time

I'm one week out and two medicine cups and I'm full! It takes me all day to get 30 ounces of Protein Drink in. I have a very hard time with water I don't like it much. I do crystal lite. Protein Drinks are not my fav. I drink 1/2 cup of beef broth for something different. That takes me a while but goes down better.

Ok I just hit one month on Thursday. Water and shakes were easy peasy. Then when i was started on foods - woah! Such a difference. You will feel it. In your chest. Between your boobs. And I’m here to tell you the first inkling if full- stop! Otherwise it’s an uncomfortable pain like none other. I can’t eat much either so it’s a slow process of tiny bites ... lots of chewing ... and waiting between. I still drink shakes in the morning 🤷🏼‍♀️

I started to really feel restriction when I started my soft solids and more so when I started regular foods. It will kick in!

I agree, the pain on chest in between breasts was horrible, I still have trouble with eating Bc I tend to feel like I can take one bite and when I do I suffer Bc I’m over stuffed. I have to work on that.

I'm with you. One week out today and having the same issues. The warm broth does go down much better.

I am going through the same thing! I have never felt a feeling of fullness! I have no problem getting fluids in and i was sleeved on 10/16/17. Im hoping that this will change when we get to solids! Im just trying to make sure i get my required fluids in and thats it! Im thankful but it is a little different then what i was expecting!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
