Not feeling full



Recommended Posts

I am only taking in 1/2 a Protein Shake and Soup twice a day. Sometimes I feel full other times I don’t. Does anyone else feel like this? I put Protein in my soup or some juice to make sure I get my protein in for the day.

That's all you eat? 1/2 a Protein Shake and Soup twice a day? That's not much at all. When I was a month out, like you are, I was drinking 2 shakes a day and eating some pureed foods.

It has taken me awhile to learn my new stomach. I don’t ever feel full the way I used to like typical full feeling after say a holiday meal. I have all new triggers that let me know it’s time to stop and I’ve learned (the hard way 🤢) not to take one more bite. My head will still eye the food on my plate and want to finish it. For me I’ve had to realize satisfied is my new full

I look at the commercials on tv and think boy that would taste so good. My dr has everyone go in phase 1 is Clear Liquids for 2 weeks, phase 2 is Protein Drinks and creamed Soups for 5 weeks, phase 3 is full liquid which means I can have Everything in phase 2 plus cream of wheat yogurt and pudding for 1 week. Phase 4 is puréed foods for 1 week. Phase 5 is introducing food back into my diet. I almost crave just chewing the food.

I feel full really easily, so I'm still getting 600-800 calories a day with Protein Shakes and some cheese and deli ham.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
