Your stomach nerves are still healing and aren't capable of sending proper signals about being full vs. not being full at this time. Also, liquids don't really engage the pyloric valve to keep your stomach closed and "full," so if you are mostly on liquids or purees, you won't feel that fullness. Stick to the portions prescribed by your medical team and eat slowly while you are healing. That way you really can't stretch your sleeve or further inflame or damage your stomach tissues, which are still pretty angry after the trauma of surgery. When you are more healed and eating more solid foods, you will feel restriction.

That said, the restriction you feel will be different from your previous feeling of "full." Don't chase the "full" feeling -- especially early on, you want to learn what it is to feel satisfied, not full. If you keep going past satisfied and looking for full, you may end up regretting it very swiftly!

Seems a little odd, I never felt hungry from the time I woke up. I get full so easily it's almost unreal, but I love it!
