It is really hard to tell fullness at that stage. My suggestion is to stop when you first question it. Then you can always have more if the feeling goes away. There is a little liberty with post op diet until you get on solid foods. I doubt you can eat enough to not lose weight. I wasn't given any quantities to measure and it worked fine.

You don't experience restriction on liquids on soups, what you are feeling is swelling from surgery, so you should never really feel full.

Have your 2 ounces if you can, or whatever your program recommends, and stop.

There is no way to gauge your capacity early on, you have to measure and work to just meet goals.

I am on full liquid but was not given a specific quantity. It's strange but I just sort of know when I am done, it's not a full feeling like I used to feel but there is some sort of trigger that I am feeling. I am probably eating between 1/4-1/2 cup of soup and that is about where I get the feeling
