I'm 5 days post up. I'm just wondering how much soup should I be eating in a sitting? I'm afraid I can eat too much. I usually have half a cup and I'm fine. Not stuffed but just good. Tonight I had egg drop and had almost a cup! Is this normal or am doing something wrong? Hunger has been hitting me and I want to eat more then I did the first few days I'm also able to get it down rather fast. I'm afraid this isn't the way things should be?

My experience was that if it was thin liquid, I can pretty much "eat" as much of it as I want. I'm assuming this is because it more or less just goes through my stomach. When the consistancy of what I'm eating approaches solid, my tolerance for how much I can have goes down. It takes me at least a half hour to eat 2 oz. of steamed salmon and I'm like... FULL.

You are doing fine! I was thinking and doing the same thing as you post op and still managed to lose 20lbs in two Weeks and I was drinking a lot so I wouldn't be too concerned about it. Plus I always felt hungry and wanted to cheat so bad!!! you should be able to drink as much as you like because my Dr said it just goes straight thru you. If its an ongoing concern you should call your Dr and let him know your issues. Hope this helped God bless you and your journey!

Thank you guys so much! I think I'm just starting to worry over every little thing lol. I can't wait to eat more solid food so I can really be able to judge restriction. It's hard at this point. I thought it was because they were just liquids also but needed some reassurance lol. I noticed I had a bit thicker soup yesterday and I felt a little more full then with say a broth like soup. Thanks again everyone!!

I was sleeved on the 14th and I've been feeling the same way with my full liquid diet. I can't wait to get to the puréed stage. I've read this is the stage when you "feel full" . This full liquid diet still leaves me kinda hungry

I can have half a cup of soup and then feel full.
