Does being stuck feel the same as being full?



Recommended Posts

What I mean is does the tight feeling you get in your chest that signifies you are full feel like it does when you first know that you are stuck? I've only been banded for 2 months and I'm still struggling with the signals although I'm just beginning to listen to my body a tiny bit...just not there 100% yet. Thank you!

I finally started feeling full this week and it does not feel the same as feeling stuck. The sensation of feeling full to me is the same as before my surgery when I ate a full meel and I was pleasantly satiated. Feeling stuck to me is that uncomfortable feeling that you hope will go away soon or you may have to throw up.

You should not feel uncomfortable when you are full. But being too full does feel like being stuck.

If you overeat, feeling full can feel like the early stages of being stuck and isn't comfortable . . . but you really don't want to be so full you are uncomfortable.

However, if you are really stuck . . . you will absolutely know it as you start sliming and it is much too uncomfortable to be anywhere but in the bathroom.

Had my first sliming experience today. I was eating chili and all of a sudden i felt like something was stuck so I stopped eating and I got the hiccup thing, then felt myself start to slime, I ran to the bathroom and up came the chili. Not a good thing, I wasn't prepared when it came up and got it all over my white shirt, had to run up to KMart and buy something to wear to finish the day in. Note to self: slow down and pay attention to what I am eating and how fast!

      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.
