I've been having some trouble knowing when I'm full at times...I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. I do have one sign and I know its time to stop...I get hot and start sweating if I go any further after I feel like I'm food high or something.. Any one have the same or how do you know when your full?

Hiccups!

I actually do hiccup once I'm full. I think the big thing is slowing down when you eat, but don't eat for more than 30 minutes at a time.

I don't eat until I'm full. I eat until I've eaten the amount I'm supposed to, which is what I've already measured out onto my plate.

I've been trying the whole 30 minute thing..which I struggle with cause I've always ate really slow even pre surgery..I do weigh my food out for the most part...and do stop when I think I'm full (aka sweaty!)

Do you ever feel like a sharp pain in the middle of your chest? This happened this morning when I tried eating my Breakfast (first day of puréed foods). I did use a stopwatch for my lunch and would take little bits ever 3-4 minutes. I didn't get that crushing feeling...idk lol.

I've gotten that sharp pain maybe a handful of time. It is usually when I eat something dry and it gets stuck. As for when I was on pureed foods I had a lot of trouble..i could hardly drink or eat the sleeve definitely did its job..I could barely eat 1/4 c of anything... I got sick at week 4 and was basically on liquids for 2 months after that....so I didn't get to have solids till month 3...I was told no restrictions.. So I'm kinda scared I don't wanna over eat...

I used to get burpy or hiccup, so now I measure out way less food and learned to eat even slower. sometimes my nose will get drippy.

Omgosh I seriously can't see myself going back on liquids. The smell of my premier Protein shakes is giving me goosebumps. Sorry you got sick girl...this surgery is so unpredictable. I'm keeping my fingers crossed...I've yet to even puke lol (I HATE throwing up). In the beginning did you burp every time you drank liquids? Everything but ice Water makes me burp and it's so embarrassing...

I guess I'm really just trying to figure my body out.. I've been on solids for a month and a half...still learning...I do get burpy sometimes too...never had a drippy nose unless my food was spicy????

It seems to be different for everyone. Sometimes I get hiccups. Sometimes I burp. Sometimes I get a runny nose. But mostly I just try to stop when I start to feel a little pressure just below my breasts. NOT sharp pain (that is too far). Just a tiny bit of pressure. I too had complications early on (stricture), so I progressed with foods slower as you did @@Mrs. Lincoln so I understand the hesitancy. Best thing you can do is measure it out and stick to the 30 minute max rule. In the beginning, I stopped after 20 minutes. You will learn. I promise. it just takes time to understand the new feelings (and frankly a little trial and error of going too far will keep you from doin it in the future - sometimes - I did it again just last week and I am 11 months post-op....)

I know it was hard..but at that point I was so worried about getting better.. food was the last thing on my mind..they basically gave me a lot of my nutrients via ivy..advice from me to you is listen yo your body..if something doesn't feel right..go to ur surgeon! And as far as the burping thing..oh my goodness yes sometimes I'll burp all day long almost feels like I'm forcing it but it has to come out right! Lol!!!

Thank you so much!! And I will try harder on the 30 min max rule...I think that's why I feel like maybe I'm eating too much...I go past 30.. maybe 45 minutes at times..????

I literally feel full and satisfied.. Was a learning process to pinpoint the exact feeling for me though. But I am a pro at it now :)

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
