Ok so I was sleeved on 7/19. So far I have no problems with liquids or creamy soups. I only ate about a half cup at a time but felt like I could eat more. Yesterday my dr said I could start soft foods. I ate a half of a cup of Chicken Salad and stopped yesterday and have had 2 cheese sticks today. So far I have stopped eating simply out of fear of eating too much. I have not had the "so full" feeling. Can someone tell me what it feels like. Also, I am sort of worried, shouldn't I feel it after a half of a cup of food?!

A lot of people don't feel the full feeling till they stay eating denser solid foods. If you are satisfied without feeling the full feeling then it is better then eating till you feel full. Keep measuring your good and eating what satisfies you. Soon you should start tracking the numbers [calories carbs proteins] to make sure your getting enough. Note you don't have to track forever but it is a good idea until you develop the healthy eating patterns you need. Good luck. Enjoy the journey.

My full feeling is a pain in my chest. Not heart attack pain but like a tightness (something stuck in my chest) as if the food didn't go all the way down. I also start to hiccup or belch - not that sexy but hey, it's my new thing.

As for feeling full...I 100% agree with what Richard said. If you are content without the full feeling, go with that. Also remember that it takes months for your sleeve to heal and sometimes we don't feel full because there is still a bit of swolen soreness/numbness that is going on.

Now's the time to really weigh and measure.

I feel the same as twinsmama it's like something is stuck and I hiccup and burp :/ ... I measure everything I was sleeved on 7-11

I was the same way! I was cleared for solid

Lean proteins and I ate chicken at 14 days and you really do get full. I think I had swelling and numbness or something before. All my liquids no issue at all but I could barely get down 2.5 oz of salmon last night. I also have to eat frequently. Don't get worried.
