i'm on my 2nd week (full liquids) and i still don't know how much should i eat.

i usually eat a cup of Soup, but i think i can do more. i'm just afraid to do so, to actually feel the full feeling,because i don't want to throw up if a spoonful more is already too much, so i stop there without a reason/feeling.

is it even possible to get full on liquids? what if i overdo it? is the "throw up feeling" as if i had eaten something bad or does it feel different?

My plan called for 1/2 cup three times a day on full liquids.

I graduated yesterday to pureed foods. Up to 1/2 cup three times a day. It doesn't sound like much but it's ok.

I have thrown up two times now since I was sleeved on Feb 10th. The first time I ate too much scrambled egg and I had a sensation that food was crammed in the lower part of my throat. Second time I ate a little too much. Now I try to pay careful attention to my feeling full. I have a tendency to eat too fast and then feel uncomfortably full later.

I think that it is a trial-and-error process that we all have to go through.

Good luck!

A while back, another poster provided this link that takes you to a Sleeve Diet Guide. I use it as a guideline and it has helped answer many of my questions.

Perhaps it will help you too...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
