It is really hard to tell fullness at that stage. My suggestion is to stop when you first question it. Then you can always have more if the feeling goes away. There is a little liberty with post op diet until you get on solid foods. I doubt you can eat enough to not lose weight. I wasn't given any quantities to measure and it worked fine.

I've never counted bites since they are not scientific and vary from person to person.

A better way to tell if you are full early on is burping, hiccups or a running nose.

You don't experience restriction on liquids on Soups, what you are feeling is swelling from surgery, so you should never really feel full.

Have your 2 ounces if you can, or whatever your program recommends, and stop.

There is no way to gauge your capacity early on, you have to measure and work to just meet goals.

I was told to only eat 2oz of Soup as part of my full liquid diet. Sometimes I feel really full afterwards and sometimes I don't

I am on full liquid but was not given a specific quantity. It's strange but I just sort of know when I am done, it's not a full feeling like I used to feel but there is some sort of trigger that I am feeling. I am probably eating between 1/4-1/2 cup of Soup and that is about where I get the feeling

Full liquid post Op by the way; not pre Op. But I have a few bites and I get a full or airbubble feeling. From reading yalls comments I'm gonna assume that's me being full. Lol dang that crazy

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
