Miserable is the short answer. I've only done it a few times (usually from eating too fast to recognize that I'm full in time) but it is an unpleasant twenty minutes or so while I'm waiting for everything to settle!!!

I don't feel pain when I'm full, just pressure. It is a little uncomfortable when I take that "one bite too many" and I can feel a burp worm its way around the food to get out. I've always been real careful about not eating until I make myself sick. I've come close a few times and that was close enough for me.

I feel pressure in my lower chest. Gaggy. Mouth full of extra saliva. Burps feel like there may be more to them than just gas.

Extra saliva in my mouth...feel like barfing. I am almost two years out...and I know when to stop now. You really learn your lesson after the first few times. :)

Pressure in the chest. I have not felt like I am going to throw up, nor have I had the "slimies" (foaming or saliva).

my answer is pretty much what GypsyQueen said

When I eat top much or too fast my saliva gets really think and my stomach hurts until I start burping..it takes about twenty minutes to go away

It is so easy to eat too fast. I usually get the feeling that something is stuck half way down. If I walk around it will usually give. It´s a process to learn the signs of how and when to eat.

If I eat too fast I will over eat by not feeling my full alarm. My stomache hurts!! Aches and somtimes upchuck.. It is getting much better though. I am learning it is worth eating slowly and paying attention to your signal from your sleeve. I stop immediately when I feel the least bit full. No Regrets at all!! My sleeve was April 10,2013,down 42lbs.

I have never experienced "sliming" or the feeling of food feeling stuck. I have eaten too fast twice and felt like I was ready to vomit, but never did. I just sat down and it passed in 15-20 minutes.

Pre-op, I was a weird case in some ways because I, um, never felt full. Like I literally could devour a large pizza after dinner. I might get "greased out" or something, but not full.

So, the surgery has been a blessing in that I finally know what it's like to feel full. To me, I start to feel a tightness internally...and then if I take a few more bites, I feel like a "solid" feeling. I don't know how else to describe it. I've learned to stop or severely slow down once I get that tightness...arguably, I shouldn't even get to that, I suppose. But I've definitely not taken another bite when I get that solid feeling. I think I probably would throw up.

So weird, and so great, to finally feel full.

No pain, just pressure and burping and hiccups. lots of burping. Ugh!
