Damage to Sleeve

Just a quick question. I do not eat a whole lot, I am averaging about 900- 1000 calories a day,

and measure out my portions usually. When I am finished eating my meal, or even drinking my

protein drink, I am usually pretty full. Not totally stuffed but I can feel that I cannot put another

bite in. Should I be stopping before I get to that point? It's hard to tell, and I am usually eating

about 1/2 cup. By the way, I am 3.5 months out. Thanks for any thoughts.

    Your nose doesn't run or you sneeze when you have eaten enough...I do that and so do a lot of other sleevers....You have to start seeing the sign that tells you to stop eating..Even before when we wer

  • There is one thing I notice with having the sleeve. I no longer have that "just full and satisfied feeling" like I had with a regular stomach. It's like.. eating, eating, FULL.

I tend to get the hiccups when full too. I hate that b/c people were noticing the hiccups it was happening so often. It has lessened now.

I'm getting a revision from the band to the sleeve next Thursday. I was successful with the band while I had it for almost 1 1/2 years, before it slipped a few times. At the point where it's going to keep slipping so we're opting to remove it & get the sleeve instead. Having definite pain & taking liquid vicodin for it once a day, at night, to help soothe it. With the band, when I was full, I would burp, like a sailor. And I do mean, like a sailor. Not very lady-like at all. I'm praying the sleeve will continue working for me & keep me satisfied. I think I'll be able to sense when I'm full, but hopefully without burping & throwing up like I used to. It was not pleasant at all. I'd love to hear from other fellow banders to sleevers....

I'm nearly six weeks out from band/sleeve revision and I love the sleeve so much more. No unpredictability of what will go down and what will get stuck, no more puking (it was daily for me). My surgeon (who also did my band surgery) won't even perform them anymore.

I start to hiccup when my body tells me when I am full..even before I eat my 4 oz of food. If I take a bite after my first hiccup. The food does not sit well and , unfortunately have to go regurgitate it. ( apologize for the

grossness. )

I'm the same exact way!!
