When will i get that 'full' feeling?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Monday but I am still on the liquids phase barely surviving...i have yet to feel satisfied?? Does the full feeling come first with the soft, mushy or solid phase??

I'm still not sure what the full feeling is either. I just know that I haven't felt hungry, but just made sure I got in my Protein and fluids. I'm on mushy foods and I do measure to make sure I don't get in more than one cup at a time. My doctor used a 38 bougie, so I think that helps with me not feeling the stricture much unless I take too big a swallow.

Are you drinking Protein shakes? You can also eat Jello , cream of broccoli Soup strained. Yogurt. Well I should say I was allowed.

Usually when I feel full, it's because I ate too much and I get pain in my stomach. So I just eat to curve my appetite. I no longer feel the need to feel full.

My nut said that in liquid phase I could blend mashed taters in broth.< /p>

I started actually feeling full 2 weeks ago and I am 5 weeks out.

I never felt full on liquids, but never felt hungry either. I just started my phase 3, pureed foods, and last night I felt full for the first time with pureed potato Soup.< /p>

It takes a while to learn what the different feelings mean. I'm only 2 1/2 weeks out and still haven't completely learned but I have figured out the full feeling. By this time you should be able to have sf Popsicles, Water, Decaf tea, crystal light, yogurt but no "fruit at the bottom (I buy the Dannon light & fit Greek due to calories, sugar, carbs, and protein), creamed Soups (no potato or corn due to them just being starches), cottage cheese, and Protein Shakes. Drink as often as you can but a lot of your "hunger" right now is in the head. I still see things and think I'm hungry when in reality I'm not. Good luck!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
