No full feeling
on 2/17/16 6:15 pm - WI
You may never get the "full" feeling the way you did before surgery. Many of us use the "full" sensation as a crutch. It feels like comfort to us. My advice is to stop chasing the full feeling. It's a thing of the past. Measure your portions and re-learn what a proper portion should look like for a post-op. We really need very little food to thrive. We did not become obese by knowing what a proper portion size is. We have a skewed view on how much we actually need to eat. Some of us (myself included) have to measure our food portions for the rest of our lives. If I didn't measure I would overeat at EVERY meal. My portion sizes would creep up and I would gain weight. Eat only until you are satisfied, not full.
This is me, too. Word for word.
