"Stop" signs

What kind of "stop signs" does everyone get? I'm just a little over one week post-op, and third day on Stage 2 (pureed foods). I think some of what I'm experiencing --- yawning, a sharp shoulder pain, and/or feeling my food travel down --- may be signals. I've been very fortunate to not have any nausea or vomiting (so far), but I am uncomfortable --- I think I should've stopped eating sooner than I did (this just happened once, with my dinner of pureed scrambled eggs and ricotta cheese). Do you stop eating at the first twinge or get a few more bites in?

I have had the pain too many times because sometimes I don't eat slow enough. Luckily I've never thrown up but a few times I sort of wished I could. I notice that I burp when I get full. Not a girly belch, but repeated burping. My sweet spot is right before I get the burps. Measuring usually cures this but sometimes my sleeve can't hold the measured amount so I really have to pay attention.

I'm still trying to control eating too fast and end up overeating at least once a week. Generally I end up with the slimes. :(

However, I always weight my food and my max is 4oz. I stop when I start to feel the food hitting the top of my esophagus, but not in an uncomfortable way.
