Hello everyone I had my VSG on June 2nd 2014 and I'm on the full liquid diet is there anything that any one would recommend I try as part of my diet I'm looking for other food options. I also have ?s about felling full I have not felt it or I'm scared to. How do you know you had to much because I can drink liquids fine it just takes me all day or does that fullness come when you start eating more solid foods

1 year as of May 17 and that big girl with the pretty face is gone. I'm so grateful and proud of how far I've come. I still can't believe it's me in the pictures or when I pass a store window. I've lost 102 lbs and now working on the last 10. Festival season in New Orleans is hard on my good eating habits...but I'm getting back on track. Have a awesome weekend everybody and good luck!!!! Hang in there.

Feeling full comes with more solid food. Liquids tend to go right through your sleeve unless it is very swollen. So relax and just follow your plan's instructions regarding amounts to drink.

I don't believe I ever felt full for the 1st few months. I had to eat very carefully. Every bite, there was the chance that my stomach would feel like it was twisting in knots. I was only eating about 3/4 of a can of cream of mushroom Soup per day for weeks.

I did start feeling "full" at some point, probably around the 4th month post-op. It really sneaks up on ya! I'll feel nothing at first ... and then, one bite more and I'm topped off. No more days of feeling the good old stretched out stomach full of food. Eating one bite too many is just plain uncomfortable.

You will quickly learn to eat slowly and about how much you can eat before that full feeling happens.

For full liquids you can eat unsweetened Greek yogurt (I put splenda and cinnamon in mine), sugar free pudding made with skim milk and Protein powder mixed in; pretty much anything that would fall between the tines of a fork.

Your fullness will happen after about 6 weeks out. You're doing good not to search for the full feeling! Just stick to the prescribed volume of food and you'll be just fine.
