Your restriction is going to be tight first out from surgery. Drink slowly. Your body will give you signals when to stop. Your food will progress from liquids, puree, soft then real food. It will give you time to feel your new sensation of full.

Full is not painfull for me. I also get the hiccups and know it’s time to stop.

For me 3 weeks plus post up, I get prompted, I feel as if the puree is in my throat even after 3 bites then i allow that settle before trying again, by the 8th teaspoon am full usually.

Your body doesn't fail in prompting you especially as your stomach is now so narrow. I guess those 6 months and over should tell us how they all feel.

At first, my stomach would almost growl when I was full. It was weird, and it took some getting used to. Now that I'm a year out, I just feel the restriction. Your body will let you know when you're full though.

It’s a hard sensation to explain. Until I went on regular food I was still “hungry” but just knew I shouldn’t eat any more. I felt kinda full but not completely satisfied. I was worried my restriction wasn’t enough. But once I started on real food I felt it right away. I usually burp during a meal and shortly thereafter I know I have to stop eating. I’ve never got sick and I don’t want to so I err on the side of under-eating instead of over-eating.

For me it’s a feeling like a tightness in my chest just under my bra strap crossed with that feeling when you have a burp trapped. That burp feeling tips over into thinking I might follow with up by being sick if I don’t stop.

Eating really slowly helps. Taking a pause to survey how you feel.

Alternatively, when you are just getting liquids, then soft food and then similar stuff stuff later (sliders) instead of drier more solid food you maybe won’t feel as much restriction because it passes through and compacts more gently.

Hope that helps!

I'm only a week post-op and I learned on day 2 what it felt like for me. It was similar to the others here where I felt a pressure in the middle of my chest. One more bite after I got that and it turned into pain. It's such a weird feeling because I'm not satisfied when I'm full like my brain and stomach had formerly correlated, now my brain needs to turn this new feeling into satisfied somehow, I hope.

I know this sounds strange, but I also know others on this site get the same reaction. When I'm starting to get full, my nose runs.

It's not painful, just a feeling in my upper stomach like I'm full and know that I shouldn't eat any more. It's a comfortable feeling telling me when to stop.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
