God does it hurt. Wish I could throw up.

I was plagued by this same problem until about a month post-op. I just couldn't make myself realize that I was done, until it was too late. It gets better.

Yeah it gets better, after a few months it's not as urgent althoug can be quite uncomfortable. Your capacity increases quite a bit at about 6 months then slides up again after about a year. Although you still get a super-full feeling with a LOT less food than pre-op. And it does bring instant releif if you CAN manage to barf - I did it a few times.

I would agree with the barf reco...it's gross, but you feel so much better. I am 6 months out and really only barfed about 4 times. I now get the queue! Before, even when you were stuffed, you could shovel in a bit more...now you cannot. Also realize that you continue to swallow saliva after you eat and that needs space. So stopping before full is even better.
