Hey y'all, I'm 5 weeks out and wanted to know does the feeling of being satisfied or full always feel the same after surgery or does it change 4-6 months out after your stomach fully heals.

Right now I can't stand the awkward feeling I get after I eat. Its not really comfortable. Feels like gas moving, acid, and tightness . I barely get in 1/2 a cup of anything at a time . I always end up throwing my food away as soon as I feel this sensation.

It changes a little, not much. Try to slow down your eating and stop before you get that sensation. If you "barely" get in a half cup of food before getting that feeling, next time measure out a third of a cup and stop with that.

I've only just recently been able to get all my Protein Shakes in. I couldn't at 1st and some days I still can't. It depends on if I eat solids or not . Even when I do it's a job to finish 2 of my Premier Protein shakes.

I am also 5 weeks out and 1/3 cup is the most I can manage at this time. My doctor said our capacity will continue to increase as we heal. Said I will end up with 2/3 cup capacity. Stop eating before you feel uncomfortable, maybe 2 bites less and see how you feel.

Try Atkins Lift Protien Drink. It is sold at Walmart near protien shakes and Sam's club.

      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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
