My "Full Signal"



Recommended Posts

I get hiccups! That usually reminds me that I should have stopped eating one or two bites early. It's kinda nice because it has helped me learn when to put the fork down.

Any Idea on how to stop/ avoid or control the gurgles? My daughter laughs at me all the time! Embarrassing when eating out with adults though...

You can look at this from wikipedia:

Borborygmus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There really is no way to stop it... it's just normal digestive noises. Realizing we seem to get it much more often since being banded I think it may have to do with not chewing as much as we probably should before swallowing thus letting larger pieces of food enter the digestive system. Hope this helps. :unsure:

My warning or signal I have eaten to much or too fast is sneezing.

My warning sign is when my chest gets tight...so strange! I always get the hiccups after I PB though, so it's interesting to see so many other ppl get them too!

I get the hiccups, too. The gurgling comes within minutes of pushing away from the table. Both of these are much more pronounced the closer I get to my sweet spot. I think I'm almost there but am waiting for a few more weeks to schedule a fill as I don't want to be too restricted.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
