First day on full liquids and boy, am I overestimating what I can eat! It took my almost 2 hours to eat a container of Chobani. Then, after about 15 minutes I started feeling fuller and fuller and fuller! I started feeling back to normal late this afternoon so I tried about a third of a cup of soup. It took relatively no time to realize I'd overdone it again. Rather than sit and feel bad, I got up and did some work in the garage. That seems to have helped relieve the pressure a bit. Any tips from you experienced sleepers for us noobies? How do I guesstimate how much I can eat?

Another tip is to not eat longer than 20min. I'm still not allowed to use more than 20min to eat, and I'm almost 5 months out. By prolonging the time you eat, it leads to eating more. maybe not now, but it will later.
I portion everything out. My meals are not larger than 5 oz in volume. Salads I can eat more, but I measure my protein out first.

Yogurt may be too thick for this early. Usually full liquids is milk-consistency. That second week I was sipping a tablespoon at a time all.day.long. Third week purees.. 2 spoonfuls of blended up split pea soup and I was FULL!
On liquids I didn't worry about meal times etc. I had goals to meet and it took 12 hours of constant consumption to meet them.
When you get to solids, the designated meal times makes sense.

Erm.. by "solids" I mean purees, soft, mushy, etc. "Real food" rather than just liquids.
