Full?

[moose831 4]

I had my sleeve on 4/10 and I'm following the liquid diet, my question is what does it feel like when your full? Some have said a pain in the chest? Help

You don't get "full" that **** slowly flows right through.So get used to some minor hunger pangs wait til you get into drinkable yogurt huge help

Yea, maybe the soft stage it'll be easier to feel when your done. Thanks

liquids won't trigger your restriction at all...I never felt mine until I was eating dense Proteins like chicken and beef.

Sleeved 4/12. I wondered the same thing. The only way I know I'm full, is nothing else fits. It kinda sucks really because by the time that happens I'm spitting up like a baby. I've done out twice. I haven't experienced the chest pain thing yet, but I imagine that's later when we actually eat something.

I don't aim for "full." I aim for specific calories/carb/protein counts within each of my 7 daily meals that will add up to my set limits for the day (1200 calories/20 grams of carbs/100-120 grams of protein). I took this approach this even back in the early days post-op. The most I will eat at one time now is about 3 ounces of chicken with 1 ounce of green Beans. I would suppose that my capacity is something like 6 ounces maybe, but I don't know, and I don't really need to know since I won't each that much at once anyway.

This is awesome advice, but I can't even get my requirements in yet. So you have any counting tips so it doesn't feel like such a chore?
