What Is Your Signal?

My doctor said that most people get a "full" signal, other than the actual feeling of being full. I do get that, but I have found that when I am full I also hiccup for about two minutes. It's weird! What about you guys?

    I havent had that "signal" yet. I sometimes get a soft 'stuck' if I eat chicken or bread. This is usually within the first 2 bites. Once that passes, I kick myself, and actually sit down to have my

Do people only get a warning sign after they have been filled. I am 5 weeks post op with no fill and I havent had a sign line that yet. I also only eat a cup of food per meal so I may not be eating enough for a stop signal which is fine by me.

Nope, I am only a week and a half banded and no fill.

Thanks for sharing everyone! : )

I get a stuffy nose and if I eat to much, I too start to sneeze..

Interesting topic...and how different everyones signal is.

When I am full...first, I feel like I have to burp (and I usually burp a few minutes later). If I don't stop eating, I get a dull pain in my pouch as it fills up. If I don't stop eating then, I assume sliming and vomiting would follow (I haven't gone this far and I don't really want to test this theory). I have had two sliming episodes (not related to overeating, but eating the wrong food), both peanut butter related and that was more stuck. In those cases had taken two, obviously too big bites of a peanut butter sandwich, and got mildly stuck. I haven't repeated that experience (but it took me two tries to learn the lesson) and now avoid peanut butter. I guess the key is to listen to your body and learn from your mistakes.

I've had nutter butters the little snacks cookies and they go down ok.
