I feel so full...



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve surgery June 22. No real problems- however, I am finding it increasingly difficult to get all my required liquids in.I am sipping Vitamin Water xxx zero ( which I like alot) but after a few sips I feel uncomfortably full. Eating is a chore, too.I have found that even 1/4 cup or 3 tablespoons of something makes feel so full... however, I LOVE and can tolerate 1 cup of yoghurt. Greek yohurt, and regular . Anyone else has similiar issues?

Do you mean June or July 22? Either way that sounds pretty normal. I'm 6/30 and I manly feel like that with dense Proteins now.

It's very frustrating! ! I feel like I want to eat, (but without any hunger)- then eat a few mouthfuls - and I feel stuffed!! I should be rejoicing at my constant and steady weight loss- however, I worry that I'm not getting all my fluids and Protein in

You sound like your doing fine and things are normal. It takes a little while to get up to your goal for food and fluids. Give yourself time

I got my sleeve June 10. I have been having a horrible time with Water. I've been really thirsty but am lucky to get down 25 oz in an entire day. My NUT suggested iced herbal tea and today I've been able to drink just over 50 oz! Don't know why I can handle tea, but water makes me sick. But hey, just happy that it works.

@BariartricBarb I am 13 months post op and Water still bothers me. It's weird; my sleeve can tolerate almost any kind of food but it's so picky about fluids. I can do Vitamin water and propel (black cherry and peach only). Fluids are always a struggle for me

Is it that you don't like taste or temp of water or are you having pain? Try changing temp or adding a squirt of lemon. If it is pain try sipping very slow.

@@Bndtoslv, My problem is pain a nausea. I've always been a Water drinker. Have never gone for soda or flavored drinks. It doesn't matter if the water is tepid or cold. I've tried flavor enhancers and don't like the taste. This has been the biggest and hardest change for me. I was final able to get all of my Fluid yesterday by drinking the tea. I just hope this isn't a forever thing

Have you tried Diet V8 Splash there drink is very flavorful but I have to really dilute cause I'm having some problems with anything sweet. But I like the tropical one it's more of an orange flavor.

Plain Water gives me major heartburn. I have to do something else with it.

I'm having a problem with sweets as well. But I'll dilute it and give it a try

      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!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
