Yeah, I didn't throw up or feel the urge to, it was just that familiar ache of "I ate too much." I'd had my meat and veggie, but I wanted a little bit of my fruit, too lol...stupid brain hunger. It was just surprising to me how little leeway you have. One bite is all it'll take to put you on tilt. No wonder they really want you eating in a quiet spot with no distractions, you really gotta pay attention to your stomach.

If I'm eating slowly and paying attention (not distracted by conversation, etc.), it's like a big STOP sign goes up for me. And I'd better not eat ONE MORE bite or I'll pay for it. Isn't the restriction amazing?

It's just crazy how it sneaks up on you, so you'd BETTER be paying attention! I just had my lunch and I had to leave one little pencil eraser sized piece of meat on the plate, because my stomach told me, "That's it, better not put anything else in." I'm slowly getting used to detecting the feeling, but it's so much more sensitive than it was before the surgery!
