So this is what full feels like

So today make 1 week post op for me. I went to the doctor's office to have my staples removed and feel so much better.  I'm still on liquids like I have been for the past 3 weeks (2 week pre op diet).  Since I'm only on liquids, I haven't felt the feeling of fullness since surgery to know what the new feeling is like with my new sleeve.  Today after my appointment I went to Olive Garden and picked up some soup (delicious).  This was a little more hearty soup and after about 5 spoonfuls, I finally felt the feeling of being full and I have to say I like it.  I'd had enough, put my spoon down and walked away.

This could be the beginning of something wonderful

Cool! What kind of soup did you get? I love the kale, potato and sausage soup they have.

That is so wonderful. Glad you are doing well!

Yay me too, I went to Olive Garden and had the chicken gnocchi soup...it was so yummy.  I could only eat a few bites but it was the best.  Congrats on your surgery, but  may I ask why you had to get staples removed?

That's the same soup I had today.  It was my first time trying their soup and I was pleasantly surprised.

My surgeon used staples for my incensions.  I only have 2 pretty small ones and one larger one where the tissue was removed.  I went to the dr's office to have them removed which took all of 2 minutes.

Yes, there's no better feeling on Earth than to know you've had enough and then to walk away. Congratulations. Your magical mystery tour has now begun. 

It is such a great feeling! I always think to myself, so this is what happens to everyone else!

What a wonderful feeling for you.  You are a bit ahead of me in your journey - can't wait to get there with you.

so you could have the soup and whats in the soup now?  or just the liquid?  I cannot wait to get to where I can have a little more than just clear liquids.

I can have cream soups on my full liquid diet.  So I just eat the broth or cream of the soup and leave all of the ingredients like chicken or vegetables.
