That's a little odd for sure, When I get full I can almost literally feel my tube, for lack of a better word, and its right under my sternum.

I also feel it almost backing up by my sternum. But I have read on here some people get hiccups and others sneeze. I guess it's about getting in tune with your body and it's cues.

My full feeling can be one of three things - I watch out for it because if I go past, it's not fun, it's painful.

Sometimes my nose will run. Sometimes I do a hiccup/burp things. Sometimes I feel a poke in my abdomen.

You're still fairly early if your surgery was in February - I think I didn't start feeling things until about my 5th week.

Thank you all, I think I figured it out. I tried refried beans for the first time today and wow passed a little gas and I feel better :) its amazing what some gas will do

I laughed at that! No kidding.

Refried Beans were my go-to when I was hungry. They filled me up and kept me full.

Butter pants, I get the poke in my abdomen too, that's my only "que" otherwise I just stop eating when the edge of hunger is gone

One thing that I remember from one of my first doctor's appointments - she said, "Measure your food and remember, you don't have to eat it all" and "the point of eating is to rid the hunger, not necessarily to be full"

Things I try to remember - sometimes I'll stop in mid-meal and try to figure out if I'm continuing to eat because I need more food if it's because I want more food. I try not to feel "uncomfortable full" if that makes sense - more of a feeling of satisfied.
