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?

    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 hav

That's funny about your husband...lol

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' date=' 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![/quote']

For those measuring food, are you measuring by weight, measuring cups or both? I have yet to go to the class, I will on ably find this out, but wanted to be prepared.

You should actually be able to do both.

Yeah, def both....ounces, cups, whatever works for you

Measuring - depends on what it is. Meat I usually go with ounces, other things I use the measuring cup. An oz of lettuce is very different than an oz of chicken volume wise so a measuring cup would be better for lightweight items imo. My surgeon recommends 1/2 cup total volume per meal until my 6 mo checkup. Your team may have different recommendations.

I am usually pretty good at telling when I am full but this evening was not the case! I decided to try turkey meatballs. I ate two and then I was in the most horrible pain. I finally threw up which wasn't bad like before having the bypass lol but I immediately felt better. I am going to have to really pay attention next time I attempt those.
