having trouble feeling full



Recommended Posts

Hello every one I am 5 months out and was doing ok until recently.I feel as if I am eating almost as much as I did before surgery. I am due for my third fill on April 10th, but I am starting to gain and I am getting a little scared!

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'd be exercising like crazy! Just make sure that what you are eating is healthy. At least if you're going to eat you may as well make sure you are not filling your body with crap foods.

Also make sure to eat all your Proteins first that way it will help make you feel fuller for longer. Good luck!

I was having the same problem as you. I lost most of my weight the first 3 months and then it stopped. I was banded August 15, 2008 and by the end of October the weight loss completely stopped. I had 3 fills and nothing. Like you I felt like I was eating as much as before. I lost all hope. I talked with the Bariatric Nurse at the hospital and she told me to go to my doctor for a consult. I made the appt and he talked to me for a few minutes. He asked me about my eating and was I hungry soon after meals. I told him yes. Well then he says, lets give you another cc fill. I already had 5 cc's with no restriction what so ever and was thinking what will one cc do? Boy was I supprised. That was 12 days ago and I have already lost 9 pounds. I eat a small amount of food and I'm full. Please don't give up. The restriction will come. I took me 5 months with no weight loss and 1 little cc worked wonders. Good luck to you and I hope I helped answer you question.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
