I have no clue how to tell and I don't want to keep going to find out!

But I started puree heaven today and I'm eating spoonfuls like before. And I feel like I have a gigantic burp in my chest is this full? Haha I don't know!

If you think you might be full, that's the best time to stop. Push it away and see how you feel in 5 minutes.

The advice I got from my NUT was to stop eating when I'm satisfied, not full. I take small bites and chew thoroughly and take 5-6 minutes between bites. This has helped a lot.

Yeah I don't take my time. I just bought baby spoons that will hopefully help me out.

@@Aribay1, I think so. See how it feels when you try it. I've been surprised at how little I eat to get to satisfied.

I still can't tell when I'm full I think I can when I feel pressure on my heart but I feel like I can still go.

@@Aribay1, when you feel that pressure you are full. To me it feels like a burp that wants to come up but isnt. It may be something called "frothing". This is your new anatomy creating froth to help digest the food and it may come up a little if you over do it.

Oh I do the same too. One giant burn. But when I take bites and swallow I burp a lot. Too fast?

Yes, could be and it may be creating Extra air as you swallow.

I get what I call my tupperware burp. Also can get hiccups or sneezes or a bit of runny nose.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
