When Do I Expect Restriction ?

[Watch.Me.Lose.It 17]

I am starting week 2, or my Full liquids Phase. This morning I had an 11 oz EAS AdvantEdge Carb Control RTD, and I sipped on it and I finished it in about an hour... I never felt an restriction. I feel full and satisfied ( not stuffed and miserable, I felt like it was the perfect amount )

I know everyone is different, but my concern is that I am reading about people only tolerating 2-3 oz at a time...I sipped and sipped and took it slow and finished the whole thing - all 11 oz......( 17g Protein, 2.5 g fat, 3 Carbs, no sugars. )

Maybe the 2-3 oz only applies to people who have moved on to pureed/soft foods. The EAS is pretty thin and seems to go right down.

I feel like I could have this for Breakfast everyday for the next 2 weeks while I am on full liquids. Am I on the right track ?

liquid tends to flow through. that's why we are supposed to not drink right after we eat.

when you eat food, do you feel full? example: 2-3 oz of chicken?

You are doing great. Drink all the liquids you can tolerate and take as long as you need to drink them. You'll feel restriction - don't worry. It'll come in good time. You aren't very far out from surgery. Just drink all you can and know that the restriction will be there when you are fully healed.
