Fullness? What kind of Fullness?



Recommended Posts

Hi!

Thanks for reading my thread! I'm thinking of getting the surgery but I still have some questions.

I've read that the lap-band surgery creates a "fullness" feeling. I was wondering what does this mean? Do you guys feel full like all the time? Is it a fullness like after you've had a huge Thanksgiving dinner? Or it's more of a not hungry feeling? Do you feel it all the time or just after you've eaten? Do you find it's reduced your snacking? I have a big problem of eating when I'm bored, does anyone have or had that???

Thanks soooooooo much!

:tongue2:)

If you follow the rules you eat until you are satisfied not until you are uncomfortable which takes practice. Not only is that not-so-fun to feel bloated and stuffed but eating too much all the time can stretch your pouch. Once you have a meal you should not feel hungry again to your next meal.

It has reduced my snacking but the Lap Band will not stop you from eating between meals or when you are bored. It will not take away cravings for certain foods. That part has to be resolved by you.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
