Well now I got to ask... lol.

I am 8 days post op tomorrow and I haven't had this... yet. But if I do... I'll do the same thing I've always dont when I'm not allowed to scratch an itch... slap that badboy. XD

I'm a few days in to what they call Liquid Stage 2, which is the puree and thicker liquids... thiquids. Im copyrighting that... Anywho, I struggle daily worrying I can eat too much. You sounds like you're doing perfect. 2oz is a fine start and certainly not too much. The 4oz is the same. The liquids (thiquids) are still that... liquid. They move out of your stomach pretty quickly. The soft food stage is where I'm hearing a lot of people finally get "full" for real. Try not to worry, you're doing perfect.

Solid advice. I'm picking some up next time I'm out. I'm not having any sensitivities, but it might be good to add to grits or broths or something savory.

That's very helpful. I appreciate it

This post was a mental life saver. Thank you for the update.

So I am starting liquid stage 2 today after being a week postop after BPD/DS and I'm worried about the amount of consuming I can do before feeling full. I worry I don't get full quick enough. It's still liquid, so there's THAT right? I intended to have my cottage cheese, small curd, and chew it well enough to be more thin and less curd-y, have a quarter or half cup of it and probably feel like I hit a wall. It didn't quite happen like that. I nipped through it slowly and I'd get what I thought was full for a second but it passed like a gas bubble. Happened a couple times and I'd hold off for a couple minutes. But if I got a pang, I'd allow myself another bite or a couple. Well, I ended up eating probably a cups worth in 10-15 minutes. Maybe I'm being too hard on myself. Maybe my expectations aren't where they should be. I had a LOT of stomach to remove (I was 486 when I started my preop diet). Maybe I'll err a little higher on what's expected? I'm a worrier though and I'm worried sick within weeks I'll be back to never full, always hungry, and would like to hear what other people have experienced or have to say. I know it comes down to control. But the assistance of feeling full was something I'd hoped would be a little more... dramatic. Thanks guys...

Happy pre-op diet day. I am 4 days post-op bps/ds myself.
