  • I was sleeved January 23rd. I just kind of ate really slow and waited for subtle changes in my digestive system. I've discovered that my full is 1/4 cup and when I reach it I get the hiccups.

    I think it's very hard to find your full this early in the process. I'm not sure I've found it and I'm at the end of my pureed stage and am starting to introduce real foods tomorrow. I've heard once

I think it's very hard to find your full this early in the process. I'm not sure I've found it and I'm at the end of my pureed stage and am starting to introduce real foods tomorrow. I've heard once you are eating solid proteins it's a different ballgame. Personally I don't think the first month is about reaching your fullness level as they limit portion size to help the stomach heal. The first few weeks are tough no doubt. Hang in there and maybe reach out to your nutritionist for some guidance.

The wiring between your stomach and brain is all jacked up right now. This is why measuring your food at this stage is so very, very important. It will vary between individuals, but go into with the mindset that your stomach doesn't know how to tell you it's full yet. In time that will return.

Also keep in mind that liquids tend to pass through the system quickly. Unless you are drinking too fast it's not often you'll ever get a full sensation. Same thing for foods like yogurt. If it can become a liquid at room temperature then it you can basically treat it like a liquid.

Just remember - measure, measure, measure!
