To Feel Full



Recommended Posts

What does it feel like to feel full? I eat what is on my lists nothing more. Somedays I don't even Finnish what I have I front of me. I do drink my Water and am doing my twice a day Protein Drinks. But I dont feel full I just feel like I'm going thru the motions.

Any advice?

Same for me. I just eat the amount in supposed to then stop. My surgeon today told me to eat more solid foods. However I am 6 weeks out so I am allowed chicken and steak etc.

Same here, I feel as if I'm going through the motions yet I'm not really hungry as I should be but I'm forcing myself to eat every 2 hours as recommend by my nutritionist in the correct amounts. I'm keeping track of my Protein and Water intake through an excel spreadsheet so that I can show trends and statistics to my dr when I see them next.

To top it off it sounds as if my pouch is having a gran finale to a fireworks show with the amount of rumbling it's doing

I see from your profile that you're less than a week out from your surgery. Very common to not "feel" full for some time following the surgery. Everyone heals differently so the time varies. Nerves are cut during the surgery and the stretch sensors in your pouch are often (usually) affected. You're doing exactly what you should be doing and it's nothing to worry about. Everything will heal before you know it and you're pouch will start doing lots of talking - including "full". Speedydvr and I have pouches are especially gabby about all kinds of things! LOL! You're gonna love the new you!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
