Is anyone else still struggling with "fullness"?

I'm trying to be really careful not to over fill my pouch, but it's hard to know what full feels like. I definitely err on the side of not full rather than painfully full, so I'm not even sure what full feels like! There's no more hungry vs not hungry signals to help me differentiate.

How do you guys do it?

I'm asking because sometimes I feel like I can drink more Water than I should, so I have to concentrate on not over doing it.

My NUT said to measure your food in a 1/2 cup and don't go over it no matter what for at least a month. You do not want to bust your pouch. Sadly, it does happen. I'm sure at this point you probably can't even eat 1/2 cup but think of it as the ceiling.

I agree with Beni, I just has my first "meal" since surgery, it was 1/2C of cottage cheese and I still didn't eat all of it. That was an experience, one I probably won't ever forget.

AuriP You did it. I must be amazing to eat less then a 1/2 cup of food and be done. I can't even begin to imagine what's like.

That 1/2 cup is a good idea! I just ate a pudding cup over the space of 30 minutes and I was afraid it was too much.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
