I was just wondering what the new feeling is like when you're full with a sleeve. I'm scheduled for March 21st and am still running down my list of questions. Well rehashing the hell out of them actually!!

Oh. Dang there's just so much to learn!!!!!

The slimes have happened to me about 4 times since November. It is the same feeling you get when you are getting ready to throw up. Saliva pours out of your mouth involuntarily...you can't stop it. But, I never actually throw up. It doesn't last very long...or at least for me it doesn't.

I get the runny nose too. If I eat too much, I get hiccups and burps and a heaviness in my chest. My problem is my head still says that's not enough food you ate, but I started to ignore my head voices and listen to my signals. If u choose to ignore the signals and listen to your head, believe me, your body/sleeve will put you "in check" right away. I'm still learning. Its a total new life style. Once I had this surgery, I was forced to change and there wasn't any going back. It's what I needed. That's just me.

Satisfied if I'm paying attention and chewing slowly, globby if not. Globby I am not sure how to describe. I often eat too fast so I get full very quickly then have a lot of gas. No complaining, though.

I hadn't read about the runny nose. But I do get one. I'm just 4 months out and am better at not taking that extra bite that causes the pain and sometimes vomit.

i have noticed I don't chew as well as I did in the beginning. This causes problems. I attribute some of it to rotator cuff surgery and I cannot cut my food to well. So I had bigger bites. Bigger bites cause me to be full without eating much. I have to correct myself and remember to chew better. Since I can eat anything I find that I'm not as conscious when eating. I love salad and I think it's the hardest to chew thoroughly. Anyone else have this problem?

I have that problem too

I have to really work on my bite sizes and try and chew more. It's a challenge but we can do it!

I am 2 months out an still don't know when I'm full. I so know when I am stuffed!...It feels like the food is in my esophagus instead of my stomach. But I find even if I get that stuffed feeling I can still suck in my stomach...as opposed to pre surgery when stuffed meant I needed to unbutton my pants!

I don't get a runny nose or anything. What is this sixth sense thing you got going on? Did you gather this magical power after measuring food for a while?

Yes, I believe that I did develop a sense for satisfied feeling after months of measuring, weighing and getting to the point of "full" to often. Whether or not it is "magical" or not is open to debate. It is very gratifying to know and trust my satisfied feeling.

I hope I can figure it all out. 5 days!!!!! OMG!!!!
