2 weeks post op can’t tell when full

Hey everyone so I’m 2 weeks post op and have now started puree foods and I can’t tell when I’m full. I eat slowly and chew as much as possible I’m not drinking when I eat and yet I don’t feel full ever. The only way I seem to tell is when I finally throw up or I just guess. Does anyone have this problem or advice?

I didn’t feel restriction until I got to regular food and even then I could eat more than I was expected to if I wanted. I still have to measure my food or I could easily overeat. According to my doctor this is rare though. You should be able to feel restriction with recommended portions around when you get to regular food.

I am the same as you, its a bit frustrating.

Well for what it’s worth I got to 9 pounds from my goal without any exercise other than walking just by measuring my food so it can be done. I need to add exercise to get all the way there I think. At the same time when I lost a family member recently and went off plan it was super easy to gain some too. I think because I could eat so much when I wasn’t measuring.

I use to measure and weigh my food but I just go by sight now or I use the recommended serving size on the packets if it comes in a packet.

I’m gonna try measuring and see if that helps me
