Well, I finally got some restriction with my last fill, but I still don't get any signals that it is time to stop eating before it is too late. I take one bite and the next thing I know I feel like I have eaten way too much and I am uncomfortable. While I know I am not eating that much, I just can't seem to stop in time. I have not had any PB's or slime. Any suggestions?

I hate when I have to stop eating! Are you measuring out small portions so you can see how much goes in? Sometimes I'm full after only a couple bites, but that never seems to stop me.

Yeah, I measure pretty much, but one minute I am still hungry and the next bite I am miserable! There just isn't a fine line there at all!

Betty,

You might be getting the signal and ignoring it. For me, its a nose sniffle, a small sigh, a hiccup. I rarely ever get the hard stop that you are referring to, so my advice is probably useless to you! LOL I would take really small small small bites, chew um to a pulp, then swallow. Wait wait wait. Repeat. Better to be a little hungry than miserable!! Try alternating mushy food and hard Proteins. Sometimes mixing different textures help with this problem.

Betty, I'm having the same problem. I get signals after only a few bites. So I just threw away 1/2 my lunch. But after 1/2 our, I want my food back. Meanwhile, my doc told me stop eating after 20 minutes. It's all so confusing! I want my lunch back!

Sometimes when I get the signal I am in the process of Chewing my next bite and have to politely spit it out. I hate when it happens cause my head tells me I am not done but then the hic ups tell me yes I am. How weird is that

Betty, I still don't get signals until its too late, too. Also, I am having a hard time figuring out what full feels like. I only know stuffed!

I have tried eating very slowly, just to catch a small signal, but I just don't get one. No runny nose, no shoulder pain, no burps, no hiccups, natta! Like you Blossom, I go from just fine to stuffed and miserable.

I always quit after 15 minutes regardless of what I had to eat, so that part is not a problem.

I've been getting the hiccups quite a lot lately, but it always happens several minutes AFTER I eat. Must be a delayed reaction, LOL!

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I'll try some of the suggestions and see how it goes.
