Knowing you're full.

What are some signs and symptoms you look for to indicate you've had enough? I notice I'll do one big hiccup, and that's usually a signal for me lol. Any other odd signs?

that one hiccup or a llittle tummy ache...

I get that full feeling right above my ribs, and if I continue eating, my nose will start to run and I start producing more saliva. (Sorry, kinda gross). After pushing myself too far last week, I'm learning to listen to my body better.

I'm noticing it's very difficult in the beginning listening for those cues. Lol. I hear a lot of people say their nose starts to run...hmmm

I get hiccups sometimes but not all the time I have that full feeling once I've eaten to much

Yes a hiccup and slight pressure under my ribs. Sometimes a tightness in my chest (or maybe that's from eating too fast :-(

I feel stomach ache and really full..

My sign is a combo hiccup and burp. It's only started happening since I started on the soft foods and because I measure everything, O've only gotten there a few times. Most often I measure and stop when my 1 or 2 ounces (depends on the food consistency) is gone.

Lol my guy does that too when he hears my hicburp (it's a combo). At least they get it & know the meal for us is over. :)

I feel like I don't get many bites before I get the discomfort and burping sensation. Will I ever be able to bit into food and enjoy it like before. Or will this be forever. Having two bites, chewing 50x and then oh I'm full.

My tip of the day: stop at the hiccup/burp and just get away from the food. I made the mistake last night of eating just a bit more deli chicken and I was in so much pain that I started to cry and have a panic attack. I will never do that again. Head hunger can really cause pain if you let it take over!

That's also what I feel when full

I get pressure and feel like I'm going to have reflux. I always measure out my meal. Sometimes I will walk around for 10mins and the feeling will go away...or I walk to the bathroom....ick!!! I'm only 5weeks out, so still learning to be mindful of the chewing and tiny bites. I totally drank from a straw yesterday without even thinking!!! How does that happen??? Getting off subject here, but sometimes I feel so spacey! I think I need more protein!

I am 8 days post op and feeling great ... I can drink an 8oz protein shake in minutes though without feeling "full" or any sign that I am going too fast I am also able to drink water easily. Shouldn't I feel full if I am drinking all 8oz of a protein shake?? Or is it just because it is liquid that it goes through the pouch easily and on into the digestive system? Just wondering... I have my follow up on Thursday and will ask my surgeon but has anyone else had this ?
