I really anticipated I would get more clear signals when to stop and how fast to eat. I've never thrown up but can easily eat a cup of sugar free pudding or half cup of a Soup. I notice when eating meals I pause and wait for hiccup and then stop. But I don't feel "full" and I often feel "hungry" I swear my stomach even growls - I think I fall into that dreaded is my pouch too big - have I sprung a leak??? Would I know?

I know everyone has different criteria but at 9 days post op I'm allowed soups- and some

mushy textures after 3 Protein drinks and of course stay away from sugars and such

Thank you for your advice in advance- other than a raging allergic reaction to steri strips and insomnia and 2 days of volcanic acid reflux (I feel this has been better than anticipated)

When you say measure your food so you dont overeat, how much is that measurement supposed to be ?? I am 3 days post op, and was told to eat till I was satisfied, but I am too afraid to eat too much!

Only 1-2ozs at 1 week out. My plan is full liquids for 1st week.

Ah ok. But when you are on liquids like I am , soup and yoghurt is not considered our liquid right?? So I should only be having 2 ozs of it???

I believe that is right.

Just to clarify---

The growling is NOT HUNGER!!!!!

My sleeve growls to this day when digesting food and I am quickly approaching 2 years out. My sleeve "talks" it just does. Completely unrelated to hunger!
