Feeling Satisfied

I have a problem knowing when I feel satisfied. I tend to still over eat and look for the stuffed feeling instead of the satisfied feeling!

I have the same problem as you. I have learned to not measure based on how my stomach feels. I will eat between 1/2 cup - 1 cup of food per meal and no more!. If you find that 1 cup makes you feel "full" and is too much. Take it down to 3/4 cup.

I wish I could tell when my stomach, is like "Hey i'm good!" But I dont. I feel "satisfied" after 3 bites but if I stopped eating then I would be eating in another hour. So I measure, better safe than sorry. Being "full" too much will stretch your pouch i've heard. DONT want that to happen.

I wish you luck !

You may still be a bit out of the green zone. It took four fills before the feeling of being satiated started to turn into "Gee, I really don't wanna take anudder bite."

Yeah, I guess I'll use portion control as my senses are not up to snuff! I've been betrayed by that "stop before being full or when satisfied" stuff before.

I haven't had my first fill yet, so I know that I have a way to go,but as I'm eating I'm trying to feel! Ain't happening, just to many years of mindless eating to excess, and only being happy when the gut is stuffed!

I have never felt full or stuffed since being banded....as fa as feeling satisfied, for me, it is more of a lack of interest in eating, or food in general for hat matter....

I may have a meal, mainly because I know I need to, not because I'm hungry....a few bites and I just do not want to continue....

Some people only experience this while eating, between meals...I am one to experience this 24 hrs a day....I might also add that my tastes have totally changed also...food does not taste the way it used to....sme things don't have any taste at all.....

The band really has changed everything.....

I hope to maybe one day relate to this. For now, it's also a struggle for me to eat small portions, I'm praying additional fills will get me to this point.
