A few sips into "eating" my liquid my stomach gurgles and I have to burp. Does this mean I'm full?

Do you feel full? i felt full even on liquids after my surgery. I am in my 11th month and i still get a full feeling when drinking Protein Shakes. I know not everyone is the same but i i would think you feel kinda full?

I really don't feel full, at least not the way I used to. Maybe that's why I don't recognize it.

it is hard to tell at first when you're full. and it is better to stop than to over eat.my surgeon suggested i do what was called the 3 bite method - after i started eating of course - but you take a bite and chew it until it is liquid before you swallow then repeat that until you get 3 bites in - then wait 5 minutes before you eat another bite. If you are still hungry eat another bite in the same manner and wait 5 minutes in between each bite until you are satisfied. He tld me to eat until satisfied not "full" - i didn't realize what he meant until after i had the surgery and was getting satisfied on far less food than before. It doesn' seem like much food but if you are eating 5-6 small meals a day then you should be fine. now during the liquids part i just drank as much as i could at a time. I was able to drink my shakes with no problems once i got on that part of my liquid diet - as long as i took it nice and slow. My stomach makes all kinds of strange noises and sometimes very loud and in the most public of places...lol...it is normal i'm pretty sure!! i hope some of this helps.

How far out are you from surgery. For me, for the first two weeks or so, I had a LOT of gurgling with every single sip of anything. It was due to the swelling, I think and once I was more healed up, it went away.

My surgery was two weeks ago tomorrow. It just seems hard to tell only being on liquids. It helps to hear I'm not the only one. :-)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
