Can anyone describe the feeling of restriction?



Recommended Posts

"One bite too many" - I'd say it's impossible to over eat. You can get Thanksgiving full (that's what I call it) and be uncomfortable, but you cannot keep on going. I've never gotten sick, but you would. I have been uncomfortable. You can of course eat around the sleeve. You can eat junk or drink your calories, this is not a fix all, but it is the wonderful if you do what you are suppose to do. If you need forced Portion Control, you'll do great!

Hi! One of the reasons I think I'll do well with the sleeve is the element of restriction. When I don't feel good, I don't eat. That said, I'm wondering if any one can describe that feeling. Is it uncomfortable? Hurt? Tight? Just feel overfull? Feel like you're going to vomit?

And just HOW powerful is the feeling? Could you theoretically "push" through the pain or is it really bad?

Thank you for any insight you can provide!

I can't eat just one more bite because it tastes good like I used to. There is no stretch. If I eat one more bite, then I suddenly feel it sitting there on top of my stomach and I start salivating and have to throw up. Usually only that one bite comes up, so it's not like being sick and vomiting. I also get that same feeling if I eat potatoes or bread to fast or too large of bites, even when not full. It can even be the first bite. I still have to wait about half an hour to try and eat again. Unfortunately, if I wait an hour, I can eat another couple of bites, even though I am not hungry, but only a couple of bites. I think we ate almost every hour while on our cruise, major grazing, very bad. I can't drink for about a half hour after I eat so it's no problem there. I can take about 3-4 large swallows of liquid when thirsty on an empty stomach, then feel full. Don't wait until your thirsty to drink. If I do that, I get full before my thirst is satiated. And NO you can't push through it, but you learn what foods are easier to eat more, and you can graze.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
