Soft Stop Anyone???



Recommended Posts

VERY interesting topic. I've never heard of ANY of this before!!! Altho' I do remember almost every meal my father would have to leave the table to blow his nose!!!

I'm going to start paying more attention.

Is anyone familiar with the term "soft stop" in reference to knowing when to stop eating? From what I read it can be anything from a sigh to a runny nose to hiccups. I have the sigh one. After eating almost the reccomended amount of food I sigh. It's not anything I consciously do, it just happens out of the blue and when it does I stop eating and find that I am perfectly satisfied! I can and have eaten past my soft stop, but only on a few occassions and I think I feel best when I don't. :)

I just use the term "Full signal".

For me, it's one tiny hiccup.

I can eat one bite after that hiccup, but if I eat two bites past it I get sick.

So far I have had 2 fills and I don't notice that I have a signal to stop eating. I guess I need to start paying more attention to my body. For those of you that don't have a SOFT STOP, how do you know when to stop?

uh oh - look for new ones :smile:

Mine changes up on me. I very seldom will have the shoulder pain. I occassionaly get the sigh, but mostly I get the burp. I know I took one extra bite when I hiccup and I know I didn't chew enough when I get the golfball in the chest.

I don't know why the signal changes but mine does so I have to try and pay attention or I get to the hiccup w/o realizing it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
