I am 4 days post op and I am having trouble distinguishing the "full" feeling I am expecting to get. I have not entirely tried to eat to get the full feeling but it's scares me because I do not feel any restriction when I eat. I eat about 3 teaspoons of applesauce or pudding or like 1/4 cup of Soup. It takes me a while to eat it but I never feel full. I just stop when I feel that this was enough. How much is everyone able to eat in one sitting 4 days post op? Does anyone experience rumbling and gurgling with each sip and bite?

First, you likely won't feel much restriction while you're still on liquids, as they pass through the sleeve very quickly.

Second, this soon after surgery, between swelling and a big incision down the side of your stomach, you likely won't feel much from it, unless you try eating something not on your postop list. An insulted sleeve makes itself known very quickly and vehemently.

Just keep following your postop instructions and you should be fine.

Measure your food and don't rely on feelings of fullness. You actually should not be eating to the point of feeling full from now on; you should eat until you're no longer hungry which means stopping before you feel full. But it may be months until you can figure out what hunger and fullness even feel like, which is why you should definitely not be relying on those feelings for some time! ;)

At 4 days post op I was not eating applesauce or pudding. That was the soft phase. I was basically sipping liquids all day to get them in. Though I was having Protein 3 times a day.

And yes for the stomach noises LOL

i'm also 4 days post op and i still can't determine if i'm full, maybe because i'm still on liquids but i do get that rumbling noise in my stomach after sipping, i don't know if it's because i'm sipping too fast or not.

At 11 days post op, it's easier to tell that I'm full...just felt it yesterday from a Protein smoothie that I made with frozen fruit, yogurt, Protein powder, and lite juice. I was terrified that I stretched my stomach . My stomach sounds have calmed down a lot! And I'm able to pretty much drink Water regularly without sipping. It's definitely getting easier. Almost too easy...like my sleeve is too big

I had those same feelings - you're perfectly normal.

I hope you are not doing pureed foods this early. I got a medicine cup and just sipped on it all the time. Be gentle with your new tool, let it heal. Be careful with how much you lift, that puts a great deal of pressure on your core.

I am 4 days post as well and doing all liquids. I have a hard time determining if I am full as well. I drank about 6 oz of broth in half an hour and don't feel full. Not hungry either. It's a little scary

Stomach sounds are at times painful but funny. Sounds like thunderstorms approaching. Im 8 days post...and just tried a 1/4 cottage cheese. Feels good. Feel full. Definitely nice to have something different.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
