How do you know not to take another bite?

For some of us our bodies gives us cues. I burp. It's really loud and kinda embarrassing, like a bullfrog. However for some that cue or feeling of restriction doesn't kick in until you hit the soft foods stage. Until I recommend keeping portion to the ¼ - ½ cup size and then stop.

I ate 3 bite sizes pieces of chicken my belly felt like I swallowed a brick...

I don't eat meat, but from what I understand animal proteins are sometimes hard to digest initially. The meat needs to be really moist and you may have to eat it super slow.

I usually have a feeling of fullness at about 1/2 to 2/3 cup. Unless it is meat or eggs. I get full before I can eat a whole scrambled egg! However, I can eat 2 fried over-easy eggs. It just depends on the volume of the food I am eating.

I start to get nauseous. I don't have any trouble with meat, I can eat 2-4 oz - each meal is different.

I think it something everyone has to learn based on their body. I hate that feeling of Full. It is not worth it to me so I tend to stop before it happens. Once full I feel miserable for about 30-45 min.

Agreed. I've learned to leave those last 1 or 2 bites.

You would think being 18 months post-op I would have learned not to take those last few bite. But no and I suffer for at least 30 min.

I burp also. I have not felt the completely full feeling but I know when I am satisfied and just leave the rest. I have finally been able to spread my eating over the 30 minutes also which really helps me.

I had surgery almost 3 weeks ago..sometimes you want to savor that last bite..greedy. ..I'm learning to spit it out when I get that feeling.

I catch myself doing a big sigh... if I stop right there I am good. It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens with eggs or dense foods. If I eat one or two more bites after that I am miserable and/or sliming. I try to weigh everything just to avoid that.

This is weird but my nose will run. I also try to eat slow and let the food settle before I put too much in there and feel miserable.

that awful feeling of overeating, I'm sure it is bad to the sleeve but does anybody have any idea how it could hurt the new stomac ?
