Feeling sick_ overstuffed or what?



Recommended Posts

Hello Guys it's been a while, I am doing well and i think i am at my sweet spot!!!!! But i have a question about full signals. I think i am missing my initial full signal because when i am done eating i feel sick to my stomach, i never threw up but it feels like i need too! also i am not having any stuck episodes either. The feeling passes after about 20 mins then i am fine. I am eating about 1 1/2 cups a food. If full is the reason for me feeling like this then i really need help listening to the full signals cause this is the pits!!!! Can some of my Lapband buddies help me with this?

Thanks Guys!!!!:rolleyes:

I think it's a tricky thing learning to listen to our bodies. I would say just measure 1/2 cup less than you eat now...then just stop even if you don't get your full feeling yet...you might find that satisfied is different from full.

For me, food stops tasting good and I don't want to eat anymore...but then I am still on liquids, I have heard some people talk about soft signals as things like...a burp, a hiccup, a pain in the shoulder...stuff like that. Just try going super slow and trying to feel in between bites for a soft signal maybe. :)

You have come so far you are doing awesome. Very inspirational :) Good luck finding your full signal. :)

There isn't really a full signal. It feels different, usually when i stand up I can feel the food. Just eat slowly, and try eating a little less and see if that helps. I noticed if I eat too much I just feel crappy, it's not a puke feeling, I just don't feel good and I have a lot of gas.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
