How do you know when your pouch is full?

Four days out and I'm on.clear liquids. I was wondering what indications you have that your pouch is full. Also what does it feel like if you've taken a gulp as opposed to a sip.

A gulp will be somewhat painful going down at first.. Like a painful lump in your throat..The other is at this point not a true reading. You are still swollen from surgery and have not healed. You will not really get to know that for a while yet. But it is better to be on the safer side and sip a couple of ounces at a time and sip something often...K

Thank you RJ'S. It feels different then the first couple days. Nothing painful except once the second night, I woke up so thirsty and gulped away then realized what I had done. It was very uncomfortable for a short minute but then I was fine.

I had no sensation of full, at all, for about 6 weeks...nothing, nada, it was dead. My hunger signal was nausea, which was a pain in the butt.

Your nerve endings have not healed yet at 4 days. It takes months for the nerve ending to heal completely. Which is why it is so important to stick to measuring until you know your full feeling.

For me I feel like I have eaten thanksgiving. That overly stuffed feeling. Nausea was my hungry signal until about 1 year out.
