scared I wont feel full

Like so many have said, you will! LOL

I felt the restriction when I moved on to puree (2 oz. of pureed lentil Soup and I was done!).

The first month or two it will keep changing as your tummy heals and the swelling goes down. Just make sure you measure, eat slow, and watch for signs of fullness (hiccup, burp, runny nose). For me it's a hiccup, and once in a while a runny nose - and at 6+ months I still measure everything.

I am so glad I found this page, I am 1 week post op and was wondering why I never felt full. I feel as if I had the chance I would be able to eat as much as before my surgery.

Fluffy, I felt the same way! I'm 17 days post op now, and I had puréed turkey for an early Easter dinner with my fam today. I had it pretty watered down with the broth. I measured out 4oz, thinking that id have no problems because I can take down 5oz of yogurt. Not the case. I ate about 1.4oz over the course of 25-30 minutes. Everyone else had easily cleaned their plate, but I couldn't get through the 4oz to save my life.

I took it really slow and easy because I didn't wanna get sick or be in pain, but I definitely felt pressure telling me I was full. Kind of like food will come up my esophagus if I would have kept going.

You'll feel it, you guys. I thought for sure my surgeon didn't make it small enough or I broke my guts open. I even questioned if he did anything at all once or twice. But sure enough--it's working.

Good luck! Hang in there and stay the course per your dr and nutrionist. Trust them and yourself!
