Differentiating between fullness and hunger

Good evening, all.

I'm on day 2 of the puree/soft food stage, PO day 16. I'm doing my best to listen to my new stomach for feelings of being hungry before a meal and being full afterward. They feel the same right now - it's rather bizarre.

I've been measuring my meals and following the diet plan.

Anyone have a similar experience early on? Did it resolve itself? Any tips?

Thanks!

Mainly because you aren't supposed to eat to the point of being full, or rely on restriction for judging how much you can eat. That is why practices don't focus on it.

When I first started posting here, some vets that don't post here anymore made it very clear that eating until your nose ran (there is a vein that causes this to happen) meant you were over eating and this was something to avoid.

I see too many people seeking to be full early on, when being full is the last thing you want to do.

I'm 18 months and being full is still uncomfortable, really uncomfortable. Every time I do it, I regret it. It happens by accident some of the time due to moisture content, but it is miserable.
