How Do You Know When You're Full



Recommended Posts

So cottage cheese for dinner. I'm almost 4oz in, a half cup. And not full... When to stop?

About 45 minutes.

Is that okay?

I may be weird, but I'll get a few hiccups when I'm topped off, or start to sneeze., If I go any more I'll feel the dreaded lump in the chest. Cottage cheese is a slider with me if its on the runny side, but if dry it will let me know when I'd better stop. When on soft foods I used the 3oz paper Dixie cups to measure my food and help keep me from making myself uncomfortable. I used plastic spoons too. My wife loved it since it was the first time in our marriage I wasn't creating any dirty dishes, at all.

Yeah, I'm not full at all. Well, overly so.

Well, now I'm full. I feel as though my hunger is returning. As the days to by i am feeling it more.

This sucks. Maybe I should stay away from cottage cheese. Seems like a slider

I don't feel full until a few minutes after I'm done eating so I usually stop if it takes longer than 20 minutes. Then my fullness kicks in. With some foods I get full quicker. Cottage cheese is probably just easier on your stomach.

I just started a pureed diet and I can't eat more than 3oz. At that point I have a harder time with the food going down so I know I'm full.

Cottage cheese went down great, I am now soooo full. Like I feel extra full. Once again dinner is skipped : ( oh well. I'm trying my Protein with a half a banana tomorrow. Maybe I'll walk to the store and buy different protein? Lol who knows.

I'm 3 weeks out and asked my nut why I wasn't feeling restriction. She said it would come with a vengeance when I started solids. She was right. I'm on soft meats (flaky fish & the sort) and can get about 1 1/2 oz in.

Then I do a nice hiccup too. Then I say "and that's the sign the tank is full". Stupid & corny but oh well

In the early months I used to get a pain behind my eyes that told me to stop eating. Nine months out now and I feel full the same way I used to, just much much MUCH sooner.

You HAVE to eat slowly, because if you start wolfing something down and you haven't given it all a chance to register.... You will be in trouble. (Great pain and misery, throwing up possibly, etc)

I discovered the awful pain and vomiting of eating too fast the other day, I'm about 6 weeks out and ate some chicken too quick, normally I'm good but there was something off, felt 100% straight after I vomited

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
