How do you eat?

Do you eat until you're full or just in portions? I'm still new to the eating. I'm on liquids, but should start eating soft foods tomorrow.

Not hungry.. Just head hunger. I feel great with the liquids, but I rarely feel the fullness in my stomach. I'm just worried it'll be the same when I start eating and that I'll over eat and stretch my stomach. :/

I wouldn't worry I felt the same way on liquids I felt like I could just keep sipping but when I could finally eat it was a lot different I now get full very fast like 3 bites fast but full thanksgiving full lol If you can eat more than what you think you should make sure you get you 60-80 grams of Protein and then munch on some veggies hope this helps!

Remember, at this early stage you may not feel full. Your nerves were severed in your stomach and are healing. I recommend measuring everything you eat and not exceeding 1/2 cup (1/4 cup may be all you can hold early on).

I'm 7 weeks out and can still only eat 2 tablespoons maybe 3 at the most before I am overfull!

Just home from the hospital today. I found I could drink a lot of the high-protein soup, but I still have problems with the cold drinks. 1 or 2 ounces and my guts start cramping. They've got to be very cold to be able to get them down, but I think but my stomach doesn't like it. Today it took 14 hours to get 1.5 bottles down. Tomorrow I'll start with what my stomach wants.

I feel the fullness. I am 9 weeks out and about 2 ox meat alone is plenty for me. My stomach doesnt like vegetables yet
