What Does Full Feel Like?

[Sharon1964 2,530]

As for my portion sizes. I am on track with where my Dr wants me to be. I am 3 weeks post op on tuesday. Stage I was liquids only, broths, milk, Protein shakes, no more than 1/2 a cup. That was for 7 days. Stage II is pureed foods, no more than 1 cup per meal. If your Dr only wants you eating 1/3 of a cup thats fine for you, but I'm going to follow my Dr's plan.

I misunderstood your original post. It sounded like you were eating and trying to feel full. And since I've never heard of anyone eating one cup that soon after surgery, well, I'm sure you can understand the confusion.

What does full feel like post-surgery? IT HURTS!

I always try to stop eating at the very first signs of discomfort. If I continue eating until I'm full then I have to just sit there and wait until I digest it all. If I get up or do stuff I feel really bad.

5 weeks post op here.

I never felt full before surgery. Now, I feel it in my throat more than my stomach. Like a pressure not pain. My parents had surgery last year. My mom feels the same as me. My dad sneezes when he gets full. It's so weird.

I know someone whose husband sneezes, I want that!!! I don't know when I'm full I just eat my serving.
