Hello, I was banded on May 19th and was very excited to start soft/mushy foods a few days ago. Tonight, I had one of my NUT recommended recipes which I love. I either ate too much or too fast and have spent the last 40 minutes seriously burping. How do people get in touch with the triggers to stop eating? Is the extreme burping normal? Any advice would be helpful. thanks

I interrupt my meal. About five minutes in, I get up, go to the bathroom, wash my hands, and return to the table. That mini break from chewing is often enough time for my brain to get the message that I've eaten something. It makes it then easier for me to continue slowly, and decide after each bite whether I'm satisfied or not.

Slowing things down dramatically is the only way I know of to "hear" my soft stops.

I just started purée food today. I really slowed down and tried to pay attention to feel this soft stop, but I don't think I noticed anything. What should I feel like? I think I'm full but I guess so used to eating more that I'm like..."uhhhh, what do I do now?"
