What's Your Full Switch?

I am 4 days post op and I'm on full liquids today. I feel like I'm full but I know I haven't gotten anywhere near the amounts of liquids and Protein in today. I will sip some then have this small amount of pressure in the center of my chest, then it goes away. Am I really full and should just stop sipping???? I don't have an appetite either but figured I needed to stay hydrated. Any advice would help!

I feel a similar pain when I'm supposed to be done.

Okay.. My stomach feels very heavy so I won't eat or drink anything else tonight... All I had was a tablespoon of applesauce!

After a few days you'll be able to pick it up a bit.

I had that same feeling every single time I took a sip of Fluid for the first 2 weeks. Now that I'm several months out, I know that was NOT the 'full' signal. You won't really feel your restriction with fluids only, and you really need to be sipping on something pretty much the whole time you're awake to get your Protein and fluids. Fluids move very quickly through your stomach, and you will have to work to get all of what you need in during the first few weeks. Don't let that feeling stop you, my doc said it was just my pyloric valve spasming when Fluid hit it. It will ease up over the next week or so, most likely.
