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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
