Difficult feeling full



Recommended Posts

I was told to stop eating when I was no longer hungry, and not to keep eating until I felt full. Its taken me some time to learn the difference!

In terms of the fluids... don't worry too much, they go through you. I can drink quite fast... but I can't eat more than 4 ounces of anything. When I do eat 4 oz, it is something with Fluid in it (like soup/chili). I can't eat that much of solid food. I am one month post op.

Dr. Vuong (youtube bariatric surgeon guru) says it is natural for your body to feel hunger. It is not natural to feel full. Makes sense when you think about it. Fight the urge to overeat. It is OK to feel hunger. And I am still not sure if what I am feeling is hunger or just my stomach still churning a bit after surgery. Seems like both feel pretty similar. Look the doc up on youtube... he has some great videos. I like him so much I bought some of his cookbooks and gastric sleeve info books.

OMG. I love him too. He is soooo knowledgable. I follow him relentlessly on YouTube.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
