In the beginning when your stomach is still healing, you won't feel the fullness. Liquids won't stretch your stomach, but be sure not to eat too much either since you won't feel the restriction yet.
I TOTALLY felt the fullnes, even on think liquids. even more so on full liquids. I felt restriction for the first day post op - in fact, I remember wanting more of the excellent broth the hosital served (homemade, you get it after you pass your leak test) but one sip and FULL.
next day, two sips and FULL.
because of this and despite working at it hard all day long, it took me a week to get up to 64 of fluid in.
