Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering what everyone's full feeling actually felt like. I am about 8 weeks out (sleeved on 6/27) and I don't think I have actually felt full in my stomach yet. After a few bites I feel a fullness in my throat (if that makes sense) and I know that my meal is over. I think up until now, the most I've eaten in one sitting is about 5 bites. Just wondering....what does your full feeling actually feel like?

I am pretty much the same. I feel fullness in my throat more than in my stomach. But usually even before that I just get a sense that I've had enough and want to stop eating. It's not so much physical, more psychological -- hard to explain. My nose also gets runny when I've had enough. I was sleeved on 6/19.

I get a pressure in my lower esophagus, rather uncomfortable. sometimes mixed in with a tiny bit of nausea for good measure. I am a slow learner and constantly surprised how little it takes. I dont feel i have eaten too much at any time but i eat much to fast. When they say take 20 min. i suppose they mean it, not 10 minutes, which by the way is so much slower than normal for the tiny bit of food I eat. but i am getting much better at it since I absolutely hate that full feeling.

I get a knot in my chest, then I get the burps or hiccups. If I eat to quickly I jump straight to hiccups/burps. When I eat slowly I feel the chest first.

Hi I must be abnormal, I don't feel any of that. I can eat a lot a full container of yogurt no problem 3 oz of chicken doable. Not too happy about that. Anyway, when I get to my point my stomach feels thanksgiving full. That's when I know to stop.

I had surgery on 6/15. I can only eat about 2 oz. chicken and a couple of bites of veggie. It takes about 30 - 45 min to eat a container of greek yogurt. When I get really close to full, I hiccup - loudly.

I typically feel restriction. Like I can eat more, but it would be unwise. I guess a pressure in my tummy. Also get the food in my esophagus feeling as well. If I get to that point then I know it's time to stop.

Thank you all for your comments! This is such an exciting journey we are on and I appreciate how supportive everyone is. God bless!
