Can't tell if I'm full, can you?!

Have the hardest time telling myself I'm full. I'm scared to be pushing things and there's even times where after one or two bites of something I feel like I'm going to puke. Anyone else going through this or have suggestions? I eat super slow and if I get to the point of feeling like it's going to come back up. I still feel hungry! It's like my mind isn't matching up with my stomach and I'm getting so frustrated

Is it you mind or your habits..?? Try to get your mind around the idea that those signals (like puking or pressure) you're feeling "are" the feelings of being full.

And recognize that when you think you still need more food, that is just your old habits hanging on. Eating is what we all did. All the time. I filled any spare time looking for food to eat. I really didn't need it......I just filled in the time with eating. Now I'm full quick and there is alot of unused time and occasionally my thoughts go to thinking I'm still hungry. I quickly realize that's impossible and think of something else or go do something else to get my mind off of it. Re-teach your mind. Develop new habits. Busy yourself. Go walk or do some exercises. You'll get the hang of it.

Measuring is the best bet. I've learned that feeling full is different now than before surgery. Before it just felt like a rock in the stomach, now it feels like stuff is backing up into my esophagus, most unpleasant.
