Filled? Discomfort? Satisfied?

Discomfort means you've overeaten or eaten too fast and perhaps not chewed thoroughly. In a perfect world you'll feel satisfied. You might think you could eat another couple of bites, but Eureka!, you don't need them.

In liquid and pureed phases, it was hard to tell since liquids flow freely through the sleeve, and it wasn't designed to stop liquids. With semi-solids to solids, it's completely different. Not so much filled, but satisfied, yes. I feel pressure in the back of the throat, sometimes pressure towards the back (around the diaphragm level). Once I took one bite too many, and I felt all clammy, dizzy and uncomfortable for about 20 minutes.

It's important to eat slow. Give plenty of time between bites. For me eating slow has let me get in tune with my body a little more and made it easier for me to recognize when I'm done. Eating to the point of discomfort is not wise, it's your body saying TOO MUCH!

I tend to get the hiccups and that is my sign that I've eaten enough. If I stop there I'm satisfied, but its a thin line... one or two more bites and I'm miserable.

I'm four weeks out and when I am close to full I get really frequent burps. I'm hoping this is temporary as it's annoying to have to belch a bunch of times, I don't want it to happen in public. I can't tell if this is my sign that I'm satisfied or if I ate two much. I have only overdid it twice and was so miserable. I wish I could tell when I was was satisfied.

I have a few "tells" that let me know I am done eating. I sneeze when I am full. I've done that as long as I can remember. I also sometimes get the hiccups. Since I had the sleeve if I eat to much I feel a lot of pressure in the middle of my chest. It's like the food is just sitting there. Very uncomfortable. I try not to get to that point.

Last night I decided to give yogurt a shot. Your body will give some sort of sign. In the beginning eating slow is probably one of the most important. I feel. Anyway. It's gives your brain the time it needs right now to process a satisfied feeling. Mine last night was on that last bite I ended up having it come right back up. I was surprised though it was just about 3/4 of THE containers

      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.
