Hello everybody this week was my soft diet.. but I was scared of eating too much so I just ate a few bites of my meals.. so my question is how will I know when I'm full? Is it the same feeling than before? Thank you. I was sleeved nov the 7th. Next sunday start regular food diet.

A few bites was all I could eat for a long time. I started out with a recommendation of 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons, but some days, even that was a bit much. Even now at nearly a year, a cup is too much. And to think I used to eat a full plate of food and go back for seconds!

I can tell because my belly feels really full after a few bites, like the feeling after thanksgiving diner.

In the beginning, I could tell when I was full when I felt bubbles moving around the food in my new sleeve. During those first days post-op, it would be painful when I took just one bite too much, now it's just uncomfortable. I was eating less than 1/2 cup per meal for months and I had to retrain myself to not let my eyes overload my stomach. The old feeling of fullness has never returned. So take your time and eat slowly.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
