I have started my soft foods today and I was very eager to try something, but I concerned I wont know when im "full" What were some of everyones full signs?

My instruction were to start with 2 TBSP and work up to 1/4 cup. I don't think I ever felt full since I don't feel hugry.

You need to pay attention for signs. I either hiccup or belch when I'm full. My surgery was the 18th of March and I'm still only at about 3/4 of a cup of food. At that point I feel the food go down more slowly and then I typically hiccup. Weird I know, but it's my sign. You'll figure yours out, you body WILL tell you when its done.

My nose starts to run when I am getting full. I thought this was strange and asked my dr's office about it at one of my post op appointments and was told that it's a common sign of fullness.

I get a 'tight' feeling around the area of my esophagus. It's a warning sign that another bite or two will cause me misery. I still measure my food - I can eat about 1/2 - 3/4 cup depending on the density of the food. Usually I feel satisfied and have no trouble if I stay in my measured food range.

Edited to add my surgery was 5/30/13 so I am about one year out.

My nose begins to run and I sneeze. The taste of the food which was good up until that time; suddenly the joy of eating is gone. If I eat a little more, it becomes painful and as I enter dumping syndrome.

Thanks for sharing this James. I thought it was weird that even though I'm still only able to eat two to three teaspoons of food at a time the food seems to lose its taste if I try to have more. I'm still on puréed diet at three weeks out.

      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.
