Alright I am 10 days post-op and on the Phase II/Puree diet but have not figured out what my full signal is (if any). Currently, I am just eating the starting amount (typically 2 TBS) and have not pushed it.

My question to everyone is, what is your full signal and where does it present? (IE: Slight pressure in the chest) I am trying to figure out if I am getting the signal and just haven't made the connection yet or have not hit the magic quantity yet.

Thanks!

While on the Puree/liquid diet I didnt really have a full feeling like I was used to before RNY. I was able to consume much more than what Nutrition and the surgeon stated. That was the Puree/Liquid only!!! Let me tell you once the real food comes back even just the soft It is a different story entirely. The FULL feeling is so different than what I was used to. to me it is a Tightness. Or a fullness but Different. I dont realy know how to explain it. Weird thing was I was able to consume 8 - 12oz of creamed soup or a can of V-8 no problem. I have no problem with fluids whatsoever. But I cannot handle much more than 1/4 cup of food... It is so weird. You will know..

Thanks big guy. I was worried as I can drink liquids without hesitation. At least I know I am not alone there. Haven't really eaten too much since I am still on purée but I hope the full feelings happen then!

My stomach will hurt and my nose starts to run. I'll hiccup as well. If I really tune in I'll realize the food has started to taste bad.

I'll know from the tightness in my stomach and chest that if I take another bite I'll vomit. There is a "DO NOT PASS" line for sure.

I thought I was crazy. My nose starts to run too.

My nose also runs when I get full also my stomache will hurt

I'm very curious as to what that correlation would be between a nose running and getting pouch-full? That would be an interesting study.

My chests gets tight and I feel extremely bloated. Trust me, when you get that feeling you will know.

I think it has to do with your body thinking you have something stuck in your esophagus and producing mucus to help get it down. I found that if I start foaming/frothing, I just need to spit out all the extra salvia.
