I Can Not Get Full

Hey Yall, For the last few days, I have not been able to get full when I eat at all lately. I have had this happen before and I just eat like a heavy Protein like Chicken or Fish and it works, but not this week for some reason. Any ideas what could be going on? Then again I think I just do not feel satisfied. Adrienne

Adrienne, I don't know what could be going on with you. I know that I get the munchies sometimes and can't get satisfied. I have to be careful not to eat so much I throw up. Maybe you could have some healthy snacks like peanuts or yogurt ready for when this happens. Also, drink a lot of water first, that will fill you up. Karen

Hi Karen, I think I just was not drinking enough water. I immediately got me some lemon water and downed like 2 glasses then sipped on some more for the rest of the day and I started to be relieved from that empty feeling. Who knows what it was all about. Thanks for the response. Adrienne

Hey Lady A, For me - I get that way right before "my monthly visitor" comes. As soon as I figure out that's what it is I start drinking more & try to keep myself busy. Take care - Judy

Thanks Judy, But it is not that time of the month but I have upped my water. Adrienne

Adrienne, Ironically I just talked to my surgeon about this last week, cuz this is happening to me most of the time now! He said, "well, unfortunately I did surgery on your stomach and not your brain! You're not supposed to eat until you feel full and uncomfortable! That's OLD thinking! You're only supposed to eat until you're no longer hungry and have given your body adequate nutrition." And I was, like, duh!!! Oh yeah!! I CAN stop eating even though I'm not so full I feel like crap!! Anyway, he suggested that if I'm having a hard time controlling it to drink a protein drink a few minutes before a meal so that I really don't have space for alot of food. You're not alone!! This ability to eat alot scares me to death!! Now is when we really have to work at behaving ourselves! Kathy

Hi kathy, Thanks for your response. This is true, we do have to work at our habits really hard now. However I use the Ketostix to see if I am burning fat and to my suprise I have been everyday, even when the scale does not appear to move, so that is incentive. Adrienne

Lady A I think it might be something in the air with that full thing I went through the same thing last week....I think it was because in mid may I started getting hunger pains and I hadn't had a hunger pain in over 7 months so for the first few days they were just ongoing I mean I would eat and still have the hunger pain but I would feel full it was really weird....I just ignored them and kept eating my usual stuff and now they have went away again....hopefully they are gone for good this time Are you getting full now?
