what did it feel like for you? & When to stop?

Keridwyn, are you hungry though??

I have close to no full signal (I may get shoulder tip tightness some time later is all really). Never had pre-op and still don't sadly at one year post op.

Only thing that works for me is portion control.

I agree with Caz, 3 days out you should be on liquids only.
Gurgling is normal.
I followed the diet given to me by my dietician for the first 6 weeks post surgery.
I pretty much stuck to the foods and amounts she recommended.

At 3 days post your stomach is still healing. Gurgling is totally normal, and yoghurt feeling nice is normal too - but just remember you should be on a liquid diet, so drinking yoghurt is probably better at this stage.

What did your dietician say you could be eating now. At that stage for me it was anything that could be sucked through a straw.

I know when I am full because I will get the hiccup’s. If I start hiccupping and continue to eat my stomach starts to cramp, I get all sweaty, fatigued and/ or vomit. Therefore when I get my first hiccup I stop eating.

hi,
I am 3 days post and very unsure about so much. A mouthful of water and i can feel it gurgle in my tummy. Is that good or bad? Had a small taste of hubby's yogurt ang it went down a treat again good or bad?

any ideas??

I know when I am full, I just feel stuffed like I have eaten a xmas dinner......

Some people have full signs, I have heard of runny noses and hicups or slight pain or tightness in the chest. I still don't know when I am full, but I sure as hell know when I've over done it!

I'm a massive taste tester, that was part of my problem and sometimes I would have to cook more because I'd "tasted" two thirds of it. I try and just touch meals to my tongue to test as I know I won't be able to fit dinner in if I taste too much. I haven't found the stop signal, last night I had salmon, lovely expensive, ate the whole thing and spent the next two hours feverish, cramped up in bed and giddy. Tonight I just had one chicken kebab (on a stick) and a couple of peas (I'm craving peas all the time, it's weird) and I feel comfortable. This is the first time I've felt comfortable after dinner. So my post is no help, just saying that I have no idea ....yet!

Sometimes the yuk feeling can be put down to food not agreeing with you. Spag Bog was one that I could eat one day and not the next in the early stages. I think it depended on how fatty the mince was.

I always say that just because something doesn't agree with you early on, don't let it stop you from having it another time. Unless its something bad like chocolate and its probably a good thing that it tastes yuk. Somethings I couldn't eat early on are fine now. In fact there is nothing really, other than sometimes fruit, that makes me feel yuk or weird.

Ok in my current state my search for this answer did not come so im just putting this out there...

How do you know your done? youve had enough? full? presto? no more? TOo STOP?

Got upgraded today by my dietician, and when i got home i had a tub of yoghurt (forme), the whole thing. Its only 175g and i must say when i realised id finished it i was stunned... then i felt ill.... have had that disgusting over full feeling (the kind i used to get when i went somewhere like sizzlers), its now fading however i am positive i dont wanna do this again. It was horrible!!!

Mind you, i did have 2 spoons of my bolognaise too taste test it, so i suppose there was a bit of space gone!! lol

TIA

ADDING to my original post, when you started eating mushy/soft solid foods, how did it feel going down? what was your experience???
