How do you know when to stop?

[thundathighsz 3]

I am one week out and I am not experiencing any discomfort when drinking liquids but I am afraid I may be drinking too much.

I can only eat about 2oz of yogurt, pudding or Jello and a few spoons of Tomato Soup but when I drink Water or protien my stomach never feels empty.

What signals do you have that tell you to stop eating or drinking I may be ignoring them.

Runny nose. Hiccups. I sneeze about six or more times in a row and get the hiccups.

I felt exactly the same in the beginning. But now just over two months out and can tell when I am getting full. It just takes time. I never figured it out in the liquid stage though. It will be easier on solids because you can feel them better

Ha I sneeze like crazy. Never really feel full unless I over stuff. Or eat food with breading.

Hiccups and sometimes it will feel like someone is pressing on my chest really hard. I wish I could drink Water without issue. I get so thirsty sometimes but I can only sip water down.

Huge burp usually, also runny nose and occasional sneezing. Very funny actually!

If I mistakenly eat too much or too fast I get hiccups or chest pain. I try to measure everything so I don't eat more than I should. That wa I can keep track of things too. At first, you learn by trial and error..it's just hurts sometimes

liquids usually I can drink allot When mystomach feels heavy I stop. When I eat solid food I get a real full feeling when I swallow the last bite I can. It takes time to figure out but you will get it eventually.

I JUST noticed my runny nose due to fullness. How odd...

I was going to say the same thing. In the beginning there are the burps, the hiccups, the runny nose if you get close to full. And then the pain if you eat past that. After a while, you finally get a 6th sense to just know before the triggers even kick in. However, you do need to listen and take notes in order to develop and be aware of the sense.

Is there something wrong with me? I feel full like normal. Like when I was full before surgery! Am I not suppose to feel that??

[JolieBug 82]

Fyre, probably. But not with your full sensation. I love your humor. Normal people can never come up with something witty so quickly.

No, you should sliming, hiccuping, burping and gassing all at the same time. Lol.

Lol you guys I'm serious! I feel full like I did before, that tightness. Is it not supposed to feel like tht?! Am I not supposed to know??

I get the hiccups, runny nose and sometimes the liquid seems to stay right in my throat causing cheat discomfort and a desire to spit up. But I'm still only on full liquids and I can tell by discomfort that I have had enough for a while. I have a hard enough time drinking my portion shakes and Water, so I don t actually eat much of anything because it doesn't sound appealing. Nor do I feel hungry.
