Feeling stupid - never figured out when I’m full
On the surface, my surgery (14 months post surgery) has been good. I’ve am down 85 lbs, and off diabetes and cholesterol meds. That being said, it still feels like a constant struggle for me. I don’t feel like I was given sufficient education before the surgery.
I’ve read that most people who have been sleeved exhibit a running nose, burp/hiccups, and even sneezing when they are full. That doesn’t happen to me. I think I also eat too fast because I usually go from hungry to stuffed. I am beginning to wonder if I have stretched my stomach. I really wish I could just stop eating when I’m full and not when I’m stuffed. I feel like eating until I’m stuffed led me to being obese and diabetic in the first place.
On the other end of the spectrum, I often starve myself. Sometimes, I feel like I overate so I want to compensate by not eating. Or since, I don’t know what fullness looks like, I don’t eat enough.
I also think my mental health is taking a toll by constantly tracking my weight and calories.
How much would a conversion to a bypass help me with my fullness issue?
