Thanks Jessiegirl22 for your reply. The problem is the liquids I am taking can be quite thick as well.....Eg mashed up lentils with runny natural yogurt......and I would have thought that something of that consistency, even a small amount would definitely fill me up but it really did not. Therefore I am assuming when I get to the pureed food stage, I will not feel full up at any meal either. I can't help but feel a little disappointed -- I really wanted to feel full up and satisfied after a small meal but I can't see it happening at this rate.

Thanks jp23p and one day at a time. Drinking pre-operation time never filled me up and I would have to eat solids to the point of being full up to feel satisfied and not graze further. Does this change after roux en y gastric bypass.... does everyone else feel full after drinking fluids? Am I the only one??

I had gastric bypass with a pouch size of 30 ml... do not know size of stoma. I had it done a few days ago and today is day 5 post-operation. I am on liquid phase of post-op diet... But I do not feel full after havinga large amount of liquid for a meal... I feel like I could eat on, just as I could pre-op... Could this be related to the size of stoma or pouch? Could it be that my stoma is still healing and that scar tissue will form later on around the stoma, narrowing it, and giving me a better wense of fullness?? Appreciate opinions. Thanks.
