I get a pain in my right lower abdomen when I get full, this is the only place I feel fullness, anyone else or is this my weird body's reAction???

That's a little odd for sure, When I get full I can almost literally feel my tube, for lack of a better word, and its right under my sternum.

I also feel it almost backing up by my sternum. But I have read on here some people get hiccups and others sneeze. I guess it's about getting in tune with your body and it's cues.

My full feeling can be one of three things - I watch out for it because if I go past, it's not fun, it's painful.

Sometimes my nose will run. Sometimes I do a hiccup/burp things. Sometimes I feel a poke in my abdomen.

You're still fairly early if your surgery was in February - I think I didn't start feeling things until about my 5th week.

I laughed at that! No kidding.

Refried Beans were my go-to when I was hungry. They filled me up and kept me full.

Butter pants, I get the poke in my abdomen too, that's my only "que" otherwise I just stop eating when the edge of hunger is gone

One thing that I remember from one of my first doctor's appointments - she said, "Measure your food and remember, you don't have to eat it all" and "the point of eating is to rid the hunger, not necessarily to be full"

Things I try to remember - sometimes I'll stop in mid-meal and try to figure out if I'm continuing to eat because I need more food if it's because I want more food. I try not to feel "uncomfortable full" if that makes sense - more of a feeling of satisfied.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
