Feeling Full all the time...ugh!

Does anyone else deal with this?  Today I woke up and every sip or bite leaves me feeling overly full.  I have hardly drank or ate, and the thought of putting anything in my mouth today leaves me feeling sick.  This is beyond no hunger...my body is sending my empty sleeve signals that it is full... Frustrating when you are trying to get in at least 1000 calories.  (I am 14 months post op.)

Yes!!!  I can relate.  I am 3 years post op and often feel this way...actually most days.  It sucks, so I just have a shake every morning and start solids about noon.  I have to graze in order to get enough food in for the day.  What I mean by graze is like every 2 hours I'll have something like a babybel cheese, 10 almonds, an egg...etc.  I do manage about 1200 to 1300 calories but it ain't easy.  And if I'm running around and not on my usual schedule, I end up short.  I am never hungry and just have to force food usually.  I do understand.  You are not alone.

I totally get the grazing thing...  I just took 2 zofran sublinguals, and am actually feeling a little better but I think I will only be able to handle my PlumSmart Light juice (I get 3 grams of fiber and 60 calories for every 8 oz...and it  doesn't taste "heavy" or sugary...so it's easier to drink than my normal warm pumpkin spice vanilla protein drink.)  I never thought about life on the "flip side", you know, after I lost the weight.  It's funny how I got what I wished for...no or little hunger.  Never thought I would have to work at getting in my calories. 

Glad to know that I am not the only one out there! 

 I am right there with you!  I'm 11months post-op. I barely eat.  I try to nurse a protein shake which helps, but I know I'm not getting the proper amount of nutrients and calories.  Any protein I eat seems to fill me up real fast.  Even one hard boiled egg and I am fighting to get the last bit down. Nothing seems appetizing.  I've always enjoyed a glass of wine or a ****tail...even that doesn't appeal to me.  I know you posted for answers ( don't have one) but I do feel your pain!!

Wow.  Reading the responses here just amaze me.  I have never lost my hunger and have to fight  throughout the day NOT to eat.  I drink coffee with splenda/half-n-half every evening to keep from eating.   If only......

Sounds like while I take my zofran and ginger root, you would do better taking some chromium...lol  I have my daughters taking a good multi vitamin, chromium, and biotin while they are doing their low carb, low cal diet (they are in their 20's).  They swear they don't get hungry...lol

Chromium huh?  Maybe I'll try that out.  Thanks for the idea!

Misery loves company!  I am content to know there are others out there like me...  I guess I need to follow my own advice today, sticking with my zofran sublinguals, light drinks and eats, take some ginger root capsules to assist with digestion...

Hope you have some good eating days! :)
