feeling full?

[annav562 40]

So I had my rny last wednesday at i am currently on full liquids. I noticed that on instructions doctors gave me it says to drink 1 oz every 15 minutes. However I find myself drinking about 2 oz. I am afraid that I am not getting full or i cant tell when I should be getting full..Any advice is greatly appreciated..

In about 10 minutes I would have drunk 32oz and I don't feel full at all!!! I can eat 4oz of applesauce and still don't feel full....call me crazy but if it wasn't for the incisions and little pain I would've thought they never did anything lol

I know that I drank more than the 1 oz every 15 minutes. I was so thirsty and now I am 6 wks out and still feel like I drink all day. It didn't bother my "pouch" but food is a completely different story. I still can't get much food down.......so I wouldn't worry about it, you are doing fine :-)

thats exactly how i feel..if it weren't for the 6 scars on my tummy I would have said I feel no different..lol..I am just wondering because I of course don't want to stretch out my pouch..or get sick because im overdoing it. So far I have been able to tolerate shakes/plain yogurt/cream of wheat/cream soup/ etc... hospital had me drinking diet snapple first day of surgery and I was fine...I am happy to not get sick but do wonder if this new pouch functions the way it should..letting me know when I am full

I haven't had any "dumping", or atleast I don't think, so I wonder the same Thing sometimes.....is this " pouch" working but every few days I will eat something that does not settle right and it won't stay down. I think I am just one of those people that don't " dump" badly like I have heard.

I know, I wonder if he even did anything through those 6 scars! When I had the band they have me a picture of what the band look like inside and with this bypass I haven't seen or felt anything
