Full with band vs full with sleeve.

So we all know that it feels hugely different. I am on puréed and am having trouble knowing what full is. I can tell you I am satisfied with a small amount of food and once or twice I've gone over and I feel slightly nauseas. Any help former banders? What else should I be feeling here :)

    You will know what it is.. when u feel it. I designate a total of 6 ounces/meal...I never finish it, but that's my maximum. At least 3 ounces of the 6 is a lean protein...the other 3 is vegetables, etc. If I eat approx

    5 ounces..my stomach gets tight and I start to get hiccups....that's my sign...lol.

    I ate 4 ozs of puréed chili tonight and my chest and throat hurt. Is that the restriction?
