Surgery last week
I had my sleeve last Wednesday sept.3,2014. I'm having trouble distinguishing hunger and being full. I'm on the full liquid diet, and I'm so afraid that I won't make it the full week. I have horrible heartburn...upon waking in the morning I can't get to the kitchen fast enough to get some yogurt so the burning will stop. I am afraid that I have been drinking more than 4 oz of cream soup, thus sabotaging my whole program. I just want to cry. I want to be successful in my weight loss journey, but I feel like a failure already.
I had to increase my Prevacid to 2x/day after surgery...if u aren't on an acid blocker now they sell Prevacid OTC plus others.
As for distinguishing between hunger & fullness,,,I haven't had hunger since my VSG on 8/26. But I sure can tell if I'm sipping my soup too fast or sipped too much..it seems to feel more like a back up into my throat then actual fullness!! I've learned to not measure out anymore then 3-4oz at the most of my meals.
Best Wishes!!
