Guys help me I was just sleeved on 2/28 I'm doing well but can't figure out what pain is full lol. I'm not Hungary only eating broth and shakes ther is a point where I feel uncomfortable. Is that the full.?

We'll...full for me is different then it pre op....i feel it in chest..it's higher....and so hiccup or burp which is a signal...i measuring my food so i do to finish....i just go back to it it takes me awhile.....

Thank you that makes since

My feeling of fullness is sort of the same as it was pre-op--except it can happen a lot more quickly. One bite can make a big difference between being satisfied and feeling Thanksgiving-stuffed or actually uncomfortable. So I really try to follow my surgeon's recommendations on food volume, eat really slowly, and pay attention to my body. For example, I can eat 2.5 Morningstar meal starter vegetarian "meat"balls. If I eat 3, I am uncomfortable. (I give my dog half of one, and she is very happy!)

i can eat one Boca burger comfortably......with maybe a little sprig of broccoli..We'll cooked of course

made my vegetarian chili with tvp and it was really good........i also finely grated carrot...ifeel like i am needing vegetables and i am only 7 months .....ilove the carrot..sweetens the chili as litttle

I've always 'dabbled' w vegetarian type food--- however id really like to 'embrace' it now---- I do gave a big fear of carbs - in the past the ONLY thing that worked for me was Atkins but very very low carb and cal--

Any ideas for me --- I've been researching it but now I'm overwhelmed and confused lol

I'd love ideas on how to go about - I've 'friended' fully raw and vegan and vegetarian type things on Facebook but I can't have anything like that yet-- I am 2 1/2 weeks preop-- thank you
