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?

Wow! Since I originally posted this I have had a couple of fills and now seem to have LOST my soft stop! :smile: Now I have to really watch it!

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 hey a runny nose as my soft signal
