how do u know when ur full?

Dr. I said its about time that i upped from 2 tbsp to 1/4 cup of meal, she said she wants me to feel the pressure pain, so i know what it feels liek to feel full. My prob is , i cant eat the whole 1/4 cup, but i dont get the full feeling yet. i just stop out of fear of teh pain.

can u guys give me hints. or tell me how u felt when u were where im at now, which is 3 wks post -op

and if there is anyone 3 wks post-op, pls let me know how ur doing? are u at 1/4 cup yet, did/do u get that full feeling?

thanks

I am lucky...I know when I should stop eating...but, that might come from experience.  Right after my surgery my appetite was very suppressed and I got used to not overeating.  Now, my stomach "blows up" a little then I know its time to stop.  Just follow the dr's instructions on gradually upping your intake and you should do fine.  Good luck!
