Feeling of fullness

[vlp1968 83]

Is anyone else experiencing a different type of full with restriction? I get a slightly uncomfortable heartburning feeling when I am done eating. If I eat past that point I vomit. After the heartburn feeling goes away I am not hungry but not feeling full either.

All that sounds pretty normal to me. It sounds like you may be taking one or 2 more bites than you should to be "done eating". As long as you are not hungry, it's a good thing. Just take a bite or 2 less so you don't get the heartburn at all.

I agree with HB. When I get that 'heartburn' feeling, I know I've taken one bite too many. You want to try to stop before that point. Unfortunately, that may change from day to day so it's a bit like Russian Roulette.

Since my last fill, I have restriction again and even more so than the last time. For lunch today I had a Gorton oven baked tilapia filet and 1/2 cup of sauteed cabbage. I didn't feel full, but I stopped anyway. I don't worry about whether or not I'll get hungry because 2.5 hours after lunch I'll drink a Protein shake which helps me go another 2.5 hours to dinner.

I never feel 'full' the way I did pre-band. I just have to let my eyes tell me I'm full and trust that the band is doing it's job.

Thanks guys. Sounds like what I'm feeling is normal. I will work on stopping just a little sooner. Yes, I am drinking plenty of Water.< /p>

Yes, sounds normal. Unfortunately or fortunately, you don't really ever feel that sense of fullness that you did before banding. It's more a feeling of uncomfortableness more than satiety. You just know you better stop or else.

Right on the money! That is exactly how I feel about it.
