When I went in for my last fill I made a comment to my dr about full signals. He said that I shouldn't have full signals- that meant I ate too much. I guess. I'm just kind of confused. I guess I thought feeling the full signals was a good thing because they kept you from overeating. How am I supposed to know how much to eat if I don't feel those full signals? Anyone else heard of this?

They say just until you are satisfied, not until your full. Once thr hunger pain goes away then stop eating. I eat real slow and once the feeling of hunger goes away i stop and can go 3-4 hours not eating.

I'm never satisfied. I do get full real quick though.

Everybody is different. Who knows just what the doctor means by "full"?! Does that mean "can't take another bite" ( the stomach is designed to expand anyway--so our ancient ancestors could eat as much as possible when the food was available), or does that mean "I've had enough?" Not only is linguistics a problem here, but many of us never learned to listen to our "full" signals--I was always grazing and never really was either hungry nor full! You know (or are beginning to know) your body. Listen to you--you'll soon figure out how much is enough for you.
