You may not at first. Liquids don't fill some people up. Drink/eat the recommended amount by your nutritionist and stop. Don't keep searching for that full feeling. Most people will feel some restriction once they move to purees and then to soft foods.

This will take time, so be patient with yourself! Measure your food. You should have been given instructions on how much you should be having, per meal/snack. So get out the kitchen scales and the measuring cups and start weighing/measuring what you are eating. You are really going to have to FEEL your sleeve, when it feels like food is at the top, you are too full. Chew your food thoroughly and very slowly. Do one bite at a time, feel how it sits in your sleeve, then try another... put your fork/spoon down between bites. I started with about 2 ounces of food/liquid. Then over the months I'm at about 4 ounces max (I'm 3 months out now). Remember, you don't want to be full, but you DO wanted to be sated. Full is too much. If you don't have guidelines, call your surgical team and ask them for them. Good luck to you!

The feeling of "full" you once identified with may not be the same feeling again when it returns. Some people hiccup, sneeze, have a stuffy nose, get a buldge-feeling in their chest as their new "full". It will take some time to get used to all (once it is healed and actually working again), but you will get there.

For me i get a stuffy nose, yes strange but that's my new "full".

I just don't want to eat too much Ice cream or soup and end up throwing up I hate throwing up,

The physical sensation may not come for a few months. Mine is a burp. In these early days just stick the eating the amounts recommended by your nutritionist. For some that's a ¼ cup, others a bit more.
