:hungry: OK lots of people say that they have a full signal. I thought I would make a little survey to see what everyone here in bandland recognizes as "their" quirky full signal be it a sneeze, hiccups, burping or whatever else you might experience. This list may be helpful to newly banded folks to help them notice anything that may be happening so that we may be able to recognize our new signals.

This is a very good post.

My full signal is usually one tiny hiccup. Just one.

Woe be unto me if I choose to ignore that tiny little hiccup!

I can usually take one more bite after the hiccup, but if I take two, instant pain occurs, usually accompanied by sliming.

A severe pain in my left shoulder....almost at my collarbone. This is where I experienced the most intense "gas" pains after surgery too.

Judi,

if you are experiencing severe pain, you may be missing your "soft stop". being satisfied shouldnt be painful.

Good morning ALL,

I just got my 1st fill yesterday, but I always had a "strange" knot that came in my throat, so I always quit eating. People have said that it takes about two weeks for the restriction (if any at all with the 1st fill) to kick in, but I'm going to stop after I feel that little knot. I have "slimed" only once and it was not a nice feeling.:cry

That is how I know I am full. Wierd isn't it??

I hiccup or sigh just before I hit full. I do feel full in my stomach which I know a lot of people don't.

Hiccups. But by the time the hiccups arrive, it's too late. I know I'll be upchucking the food about 3 minutes after the hiccups. I don't have a "soft" stop.

My signal is hiccups also. its strange but true.

My signal for full is a sigh. My signal for being overly hungry is hiccups. :loco:

not only weird, but also too funny. LOL

My signal that I am too hungry is pain left shoulder. That I'm getting full is my nose running.

Believe it or not...my "soft stop" is a SNEEZE and RUNNY NOSE!!!! It blows my mind that a sneeze and my stomach have something to do with each other!!

After each and every meal--I burp excessively....I try to be polite and say "excuse" me if I think someone hears....but it's so many burps...I usually end up just burping and ignoreing it.

For me its a burning pain in the roof of my mouth, if I eat one mouthful more I'll pb. I've yet to come accross another bandster who gets this.
