Thanks for the replies all. Nope, Im not trying to feel full. I am just curious what it feels like. I havent had these gassy burps, and i have never vomited. I guess I always stop eating when i'm satiated. As for my portion sizes. I am on track with where my Dr wants me to be. I am 3 weeks post op on tuesday. Stage I was liquids only, broths, milk, Protein shakes, no more than 1/2 a cup. That was for 7 days. Stage II is pureed foods, no more than 1 cup per meal. If your Dr only wants you eating 1/3 of a cup thats fine for you, but I'm going to follow my Dr's plan.

Hey All, This is my first post. I have been lurking this board and using it as a resource for information for a few months now. This board, and the people here have been an amazing place to have questions that I couldn't ask anywhere else answered! Pretty much ever since I was approved for surgery I have been looking in here. I'll give you a quick blast about me before I get to my question. I was 385lbs when I was approved for Gastric Sleeve. I had to do a 6 week liquid diet pre-surgery as the Dr wanted my BMI down. The DR wanted me down to 355lbs before surgery. Pre-surgery I lost 53lbs, and was down to 333lbs. I had my surgery on Sept 8th, and am now down to 319lbs. That's a total loss of 66lbs. so far and I'm feeling great. Now to the question. I just started phase II of eating, blended meats, baby food consistency, no more than 1 cup per meal, etc. My question is, what does full feel like to you guys? I sometimes get near the end of my meal and I think I might be full, I feel pressure in my sleeve, but then my sleeve growls and I don't feel the pressure anymore. So I just finish my food. I don't think I am eating enough to stretch it out. But I would be lying if I wasn't concerned about doing that. What does full feel like to you guys? Does it feel like full before we had the surgery? Or is that pressure the feeling of full and I am eating past what I should be? Thanks guys.
