Restriction?

At what point did all of you feel restriction or fullness? because yesterday i was still on full liquids and i was able to get in 8 oz tomato soup, 3 oz yogurt, 3 oz cream of wheat, and of course lots of other liquids, this seems like a lot to me but i really only felt full initially and then in 2 hrs i was hungry again??? is this normal? does the fullness come with solid foods? I am 2 weeks post op today...

Yep, you've got it. The restriction doesn't really kick in until you start on your solids...then you will know it! Stay on your liquids/mushies like the doc says and drink all the water you can choke down. Good luck!

Liquids go right through.

Are you hungry or do you just want food? BIG huge difference. We all WANT food post op, doesn't mean we are actually hungry. If you are hungry I'd cut out the carbs until you get to solids.
