Should I be able to drink 4oz of soup and feel satufied and not overly full? It seems like I am able to eat more than others my same timeline (week and a half out). I can drink lots of water without any bad feeling. I sip and not gulp but I can do sip after sip. Anyone have initial confusion with what the feeling was asking (hunger, full or thirsty)? I worry I am able to drink too much:0/ I just ate a cup of egg drop soup with no problem.

cyncitygirl....hopefully you were able to have some Cereal this weekend and that it made your tummy content!! After you get to full solids, you may elect to cut carbs somewhat when you need to keep losing - it's all a balance. I mostly have cottage cheese for Breakfast (1/2 cup) and some canned pears, peaches or pineapple or I have a Protein Bar (Atkins daybreak - Almond/cranberry) I also enjoy a couple of huge cups of coffee in the morning. It's like a soup cup - and I am able to drink two of them at 16 oz each = 32 oz. then a Protein shake for 12 oz and later I sip Water from my 24 oz water bottle, sometimes I put a packet of crystal light in it, or MIO sweet tea, or a sugar free Hawaiian punch. Tada...that's 64 oz right there. Getting in your liquids is so important!!

Oh I meant to tell you I love San Diego too. Old Town Cafe for good Mexican food. We used to go every year a couple of times down from L.A. last time I was post op - and I was able to enjoy a chile relleno a la carte!

Im in the same situation theres about a week and a half out and i had my first egg today and it took me about 30 mins ( waiting between bites for the "full " feeling) and it never came... if it hadn't been for my niece i probably would have eaten the whole egg! Im so afraid that i put myself through this and will fail... advice?

Just because we can eat like this doesn't mean we should.
