Can't tell if I am hungry or full or what!



Recommended Posts

I know I have hardly eaten today because I have had quite a bit of nausea. I half way feel full and hungry all at the same time! Makes no sense!

Does anyone else have that issue?

I do! I'm nauseated all the time, but sometimes I feel hungry. When I go to eat, I realize I'm not hungry after all. It just doesn't make sense!

I feel hungry but try to figure out what I want to eat and it's just too much trouble. :P After I come home from work out in the mornings I need to eat but often don't feel like COOKING anything. Seems like everything needs to be COOKED. I don't want to COOK! :P I just want some Cereal or something. Don't know what Cereal we can have because our Nut says no cereal. I'm tired of eggs. Can't eat breads. Sick of yogurt. So I usually just drink a Premiere and get it over with even though our Nut says no more Protein drinks. Well, screw her. :P
Eating is overrated.
So is drinking.

Today I forgot to eat again. Saw it was after 2pm. Oh snap! Ate a couple pieces of turkey jerkey. Meh, that's good enough. ::sigh:: now it's dinner time. Made a roast but it tastes gross. Not eating it. Sick of chicken, plus it gets stuck and then I have to make myself throw up so I can eat the rest of my dinner. Maybe I'll just drink another Premiere. Actually, I forgot to drink any today. Any liquids. oops. I haven't been very good with the liquids AT ALL. Gross. And they make you have to pee all the time. So annoying.

But, I have to get back on track and eat regularly and drink. Does beer count? I really want a beer. I'm not much of a beer drinker but been craving it. Tried SF Root Beer. So gross. Anything SF tastes gross to me. Tried a half of non-sf root beer sno cone. SO divine! Felt sick after. :( No more non-sf sno cones for me. booooooo (but it's a good thing ;) )

Tried sushi a few weeks ago. Was. Not. Good. Well, I mean it tasted super good but didn't feel so good in my tummy. Not sure if it was because I ate too many or because of the rice. I'm scared to try it again.

Just ate an apple with Peanut Butter. 2nd try. Still not good in my tummy. gurgle gurgle wanna hurl.


Pik, sure glad to hear you are doing better :) Have you been able to get off any of your meds since surgery? I'm off of my cholesterol med, half of my bp med, no more heart burn med and since stupid "top in the state" bariatric Dr doesn't do blood work on his patients until 6 months after surgery I got our family Dr to run the whole vitamin/mineral, thyroid, hormones, and whatever else panel the other day. Need to see how those B's and D and thyroid are doing. He's also running an arthritis panel because my joints hurt. They hurt worse when I drink SF liquids which I don't do anymore.

oh Pik, I also had a 3 wk stall. UGH. My family dr asked how I broke it. Told him I pood. LOL! (sorry, TMI but true!) Seriously! That only happens once a week so he said I can take Colace or the like every day and eat Fiber. Isn't there a Fiber pill or something? ugh LOL

OMG we are such twins!

I am off of cholesterol meds and GERD meds. I have had a couple of those stalls and I pood yesterday too! (finally!) lol.

You know, I am not even following my dietitian stuff. I know that is awful. For the most part I have greek yogurt, cheese, Water, and not much else. food just makes me feel bad.

I had a second stricture opened up a couple of weeks ago and have another endoscopy scheduled for this Thursday.

This one surgeon in the office has been taking care of me, listening to what I am saying...which is such a good thing.

I have been doing a lot more walking and feeling a lot better, so that is a good thing. Right now I feel awful, but it is because of my RA meds. I have just started back on the chemo and have been on the biologic again for about a month.

These meds are supposed to stop your joints from getting messed up but they make you feel so bad. Just awful.

I had a good stretch where my joints felt good and I felt good in that respect because I was off of the medicine, but I know I can't stay off of them.

:( That stinks. I've been thinking about starting glucosamine chondroitin (Kirklands brand?) to see if that helps. My mom says she notices a difference if she stops. But I want to get OFF pills, not add them! :P lol

We have to go to our stupid bariatric Dr next week for our 3 month follow up. I really don't want to go. I don't care to see him or his loser office staff and the Nut is super sweet but I learn more info on here and elsewhere than from her. Besides, it's all in the binder we each had to pay $10 for with the same info in it pretty much even though we live in the same house because I guess our $250/visit EACH (prior to ded being met that will start all over again in Jan) apparently wasn't enough money for them. The billing has been a nightmare and we are pretty sure they stole some of our money or charged/coded something that didn't happen. Too much investigating to do we just said forget it. This will be our last visit with them since the new year brings new deductibles and I'm not wasting our money going there anymore, even though we signed some stupid "life-long" contract/commitment with them. Ya, whatever. Thanks for the surgery, you got your paychecks and two more patient numbers, now piss off. Our family Dr can do everything. Besides, he's nice and actually cares about us.

btw, our bariatric Dr apologized to me after he found out that I said I didn't want to see him anymore (from our family Dr). He asked why and of course my mind went blank but I managed to tell him a few reasons out of the many. Well, a little too late mister. Plus, I hold grudges, especially when you neglect me of the only pain medicine that I told you worked on me and made me suffer through this surgery. ya, Thanks.

sheesh, I wonder if I'll ever get over this :(

You know I got a bill yesterday that doesn't make sense to me either. My surgery was paid for and I paid the $1,216 co pay.

I got this bill that says I owe $568.00 which is less than 20% of what the charges were and more than 20% of what insurance paid.

I was under the impression that once I paid all the crap they maid me pay before the surgery, my insurance paying for the surgery,and me paying the co pay that that was it.

Now I get this bill that doesn't add up and of course the billing person is not at her desk when I call.

See with me, I will take all the time in the world to get that stuff figured out. The medical field and their billing, what they charge, etc is a racket!

When I had my daughter 18 years ago, the hospital charged my insurance company for 2 births and my insurance paid it!

I don't stand for that crap!

I am trying to take less meds too because I have such a hard time with them all since surgery. I have not been taking all of the Vitamins I am supposed to take. Feels like an all day job getting the meds I absolutely must take in.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
