    Yeah, it's a nice way to find out you've had enough to eat, as opposed to my pre-band days of a carb coma and nap on the sofa lol

Thats my sign danger danger full is fast approaching, stop 3 bites ago.

Hi I just got f a fill and I now have hiccups after eating, somone else?

I get them too. It's referred to as a "Soft Stop" Just as SleeveConvert stated, it's our bodies way of telling us that we're full and we need to put the fork down and step away. If you continue eating, you may vomit. Another soft stop is a runny nose. Some people have soft stops, and some don't.

Like many, I get them when I have eaten enough and I add that last bite..... Dumb dumb dumb. LOL

This is what happens to me when I eat: When I get toward the last couple spoonful's on my little plate I eat extremely slow and I can pretty much tell when it is going to happen. I love getting hiccups, it's my sign that I have had enough!!! Sometimes I can even put those last couple bites in the garbage. :P Listen to your body and you will do great!!!

The vagus nerve innervates the diaphragm. For some people, when you reach your max volume it'll stimulate the vagus nerve (as it should because this is what signals the brain to say you are full) but it also activates other areas the nerve innervates (ie diaphragm, shoulder, even the mouth). These signals should definitely be anticipated and listened to because it's your soft stop signal to let you know you are done eating :)

I'm with everyone else. I get the hiccups when I've eaten enough and on the verge of too much. It definitely means STOP!

Congrats on your fill!

Best Wishes!
