Afraid to mess it all up

[witchywoman1 2]

Hello all! This is my first time posting in this forum.

I'm 10 days post op for VSG and everything seems to be going well. But, I'm scared to death that I'm messing up somehow. I'm getting my fluids in and taking about 3 ounces of broth/soup/blended Soup or Protein Shake every few hours (on full liquids at this point). I'm taking in about 12 ounces total of non-water/full liquids. I'm not really feeling hungry or anything. My fear has to do with feeling full. At first, I was feeling pain in my stomach when getting "full" but that sensation has pretty much gone away. I still feel a twinge when I've had enough soup or whatever, but I'm just wondering if this is "normal." (That I've stopped having the pain)

What do you think? Am I overthinking things? Should I just be thankful I'm not feeling the pain anymore?

TIA!

Overthinking .... you won't get a full sensation until you start eating solid food

Thank you, sillykitty. It's just all so new, I don't know where else to ask these types of questions:)

I had my surgery on December 10th. I also have a lot of worries but I just try to keep on drinking. I drink a lot of Water and I worry about my protien intake. I was mostly pain free after only about 5 days. So I would think that part is normal

I have the same fear. I fear that I'll stretch my pouch out and end up back where I started.
I had mine in July. I try to just listen to my body....I try and eat slow and don't drink a bunch while eating.
Hard to do I know. Everyday is a work in progress for me. Just keep staying positive.
