Not feeling full on Full liquid diet!

[mrs.papa923 3]

Ok,

I'v had surgery on July 7, 2014.

Everything went well.

I was told I could only sip liquids!

But I can gulp & suck down fluids with no problem. Now eating yogurt and other liquid foods and still don't fill that "I'm so full sensation!

Am I not drinking & eating enough.

I'd up the fluids and try to squeeze in more Protein I'm pre op and I've started this habit now so I'm used to it. I really do eat less when I pack my meals with protein and I eat a lot less often as well since I'm still full from all that.

Also- if you haven't already, try Isopure. My favorite is apple melon! Very filling and tasty

You should be eating/drinking the amounts the doctor said. He told me that at first you might feel like you can have a lot more because all the nerves in the new pouch aren't necessarily firing right just after surgery. He warned me that even if I felt like I could have more it is important not to do more than about 4 oz of liquid an hour for the first 2 weeks.

Even if you feel like you can have more, you shouldn't because you could damage the staple line.

I'm 6 weeks out now and just started having the full symptoms (running nose, little pain to the right of my belly button) after I got on food. Never felt it on liquids or purees.
