3 weeks out doctor has me on soft foods, what is the feeling im looking for knowing when I ate enough should I just eat 4 ounces and thats it? I went to Panera Bread today and got a 1/2 of some kind of chicken salad with fruit in the salad it was good. I ate the chicken (protein first) then I picked at the strawberries and tangerines didnt want to try the pineapple but ate a leaf of lettuce I never felt full but stopped eating anyway. Dinner I just ate some refried beans with greek yogurt mixed in and the scrapings from the mashed potato pot in all around 6 or 7 ounces. I feel a slight lump in my throat and I think I feel full.

I am 8 days out and still learning. Tonight I guess i ate one bite too many of creamed soup and all of a sudden I was nauseous LOL like outta nowhere. Guess maybe I need to slow down even more and pay closer attention LOL

Don't feel bad, I made 1 month out yesterday, and it's only been this week, that I haven't slimed or threw up. Needless to say, I finally slowed down and started looking for signs.

I just had a cup of salad with a few grilled chicken cubes and I am so miserably full. This is the first time I ate fast and didn't go slow to feel my full signal.

I will never do this again. Oh man, I am hurting.

Always go slow!!!

Yeah, everyone's different but it seems that hiccups, a bunch of burps, "stuck in throat" feeling are the most common. I also get the runny nose.

Immediately post-op the difference between FULL and TOO FULL is like ONE LOUSY TEASPOON of food. Too much and you are in agony and most likely will barf. So take it easy, watch for the signals and know when enough is enough.

It's like the story of my life I just read! As we speak, I just finished my dinner of funny mashed potatos, and every one of these symptoms happened. Starting with the talking tummy, then the 1 hiccup, followed by tiny lump in throat, then a very slight runny nose and I'm sitting here now feeling full! Lol crazy.

I mean runny* mashed potatos

i think i know but i only get full on some foods. wierd. but i start with bubbles in my tummy rolling up to my throat and small burps and my tummy feels full. but there are days i can put more in its so confusing
