Day 2- help! I hope this is normal!
I'm three weeks out today and I had some issues like that. The doctors know that you won't be able to get all your protein in right away and they don't expect you too. If your too full and can't get it in, don't. U'll just end up making urself sick and then lose what protein u did have in there. Just take it easy and try to get in what you can. I still am only doing about half daily protein in-take in . It's getting better, but just a slow going process!! I also am only getting a little over half of my water in-take in as well. The further out we get, the better we'll be. We are just a work in process right now and need to take it slow! Good Luck!

If you force too much, you can get sick, however liquids leave the pouch pretty fast, so if you are doing a minimum of 2 oz an hour, you should not be forcing too much. I felt full all the time for about a month or 6 weeks and then I got to point where I did not feel full, but don't feel hungry (actual hunger, my head tells me I am hungry though!) and I am able to stop eating one bite before 'uh oh' since about 8 weeks out. I had one 'uh-oh' bite too much and it told me enough to know I would never knowingly do that again!
