Nausea as a fullness indicator?



Recommended Posts

I am 3.5 weeks post op RNY. I am still on the pureed food stage. I am finding that I don't have restriction yet, but I do start to get nauseous as I get full. It's a pretty solid stop sign, but I am still learning to perceive it quickly enough. Do other people have this reaction? Does it last, or should I be looking forward to different fun in the next food stage?

I get nauseous if I get way too full. But as I'm getting full, I get hiccups and sometimes sneeze. I'm 9 months out exactly.

I am the same way. No real full indicator unless I am over full and then I feel like I am going to vomit. Good news for me is I don’t get full on the portions that I should be eating so as long as I measure my food it doesn’t Happen.

I thought too full too. Try to eat until you’ve had enough - do you need that next bite or just want it? (When you’ve almost finished your portion, slow right down & really think about your next bites.) During the surgery a lot of nerves are cut so the messages of fullness don’t work as well & for many when they do the signals can be different. (Some sneeze or their nose runs.) The message you’re full takes time to get through & often by the time you start to feel full you’ve actually had too much. You’ll find there’s a lot of new things to learn about your eating & how your body reacts.

      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.
