Eat less next time, but apart from that can you go for a walk. I've only felt really full I think twice since I was banded (3rd sept) and I had a nap both times which I definitely don't recommend cause when I awoke I still felt full and I think a long stroll would have made me feel a lot better, a lot sooner. Also don't drink any Water for a while. Hope your feeling better soon.

Bad news--I'm almost 11 months out from surgery and yet I continue to do that to myself. I have an issue with not stopping eating. Let's face it--the band hasn't worked on my head. I'm a work in progress, and I expect you are too. Do your best to eat only until you're no longer hungry, not full. (Odd concept for me as a fat person!) It will get easier as long as you listen to your body. Move around and your body will move the food along. Just don't drink. That will either wash it back at you or exacerbate the feeling. Good luck. Feel better. :lol:

You're eating too much. You need to stop before you get to that stage, which may take some practice. It can be hard to recognise "satisfied" but basically, if you feel more than a teeny bit full, you've overeaten.

Also eating until you are too full can stretch out the pouch.

Are you talking about feeling too full, or feeling like something is stuck. There is a difference.

If you don't already I would measure your food and then try eating about 3/4 of what you do now. You have gotta stop sooner or you can have all kinds of complications along with the annoyance of being overly full.

Are you sure that you don't have something stuck?

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
