5 days post op not sure if everything's right.

I'm 5 days post op. I was drinking 20oz of Protein day one walked 5 miles before out of hospital. Nurses were surprised how well I was ready to go. I've stayed liquid for the most part I've ate Soups and soft cheese for the first time. What I'm wounded is how do you know when your full and is the time frame between bites you should have. I almost feel like my stomachs fine and I didn't even have surgery I also had a bad hernia repair so kinda hurts to swallow Water and liquids but I'm not sure if its the surgery or the hernia repair. Any advice on how to know when your full.

You shouldn't be looking for "full" you should be looking for satisfied. But so soon after surgery, you really can't trust your stomach to give you proper signals. Your tissues and nerves are still too traumatized. That's why it's important to strictly weigh your portions and stick with that for the time being, instead of looking for physical signals that you've had enough. Good luck!

So far I've been doing 4 oz serving sizes. I just don't know if I'm eating to fast or not.

You should spend 30 minutes eating your 4oz. Careful not to rush your diet. If not cleared for soft foods, don't advance. You can really hurt yourself. Baritastic App helps with timing meals/drinking

4ozs of cheese in a serving or liquids? My plan allows 1-2ozs of puree but not until week 2. I had 8ozs of Protein shake in about 30 mins. That's not going to be filling though as it goes right thru you. Be careful not to eat too much or off plan.
