I would do this when I had the band too. I hated that damn band!! I would sneeze when full. Anyone else experience this or have another trigger?

I am seriously concerned that I do not get full

like I should. When I drink liquid too fast I get a sharp pain in stomach but it goes away as quickly as the liquid passes through. I started puréed food yesterday and was expecting to feel full after a couple bites but I ate 4 oz and didn’t feel full. It was puréed really well (instant mashed potatoes and canned received beans i mashed even further just in case. I am afraid to just keep eating and make myself sick bit would feel Better if I was more like everyone else??

most of us don't feel the restriction until we move to solid foods.

Me too !! And runny nose

I hiccup only once when I'm full.

You will learn how much of what you can eat. I am learning this now. I am very happy with this tool. I wish I had done this a long time ago.

What is your body's way of telling you when you are full, Tim?

For me I tend to hiccup once if I am full and hiccup a lot if I over ate. Since my surgery I haven't vomited yet, though I had 2 close calls. I know I need to only eat what my body wants, but I was raised to eat everything on my plate AND it's harder to track protein intake if you don't eat what you measured out for yourself. ?

EDIT: Wow I am silly, I only just realized that you are the OP of this thread and already answered it.
