What are your soft stops?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I just had my 5th fill, and I'm now 6 cc's in a 10 cc band. I'm definitely starting to feel the restriction now. It was tough yesterday, I had my first sliming (ewww) experience, and it was NOT pleasant to go through at all.

What I wanted to know was what are your soft stops? I haven't figured mine out yet. I think it's a small sigh in between bites, but I'm not sure.

What about you guys?

I just had my first fill and I think it's the pain I get in my shoulder or a small burp...I'm still learning what it is but I think thats it....

Sigh, runny nose or a hiccup. If I don't heed the warning and take that last bite because there is one or two more bites on my plate I really pay for it !

I don't have any; the signals I get come when I'm past where I am comfortable.

I have to really listen to my body and assess satiety after every bite.

usually burps, but can be a sigh or a runny nose.

I never thought that might be why my nose was running!

Interesting!

I really dont get these questions, it baffles me, but I know everyone has a different experience.

its just that for me, I simply feel comfortable in the tummy, like I did before. I feel full in exactly the same way. Once I start approaching that, I know its time to stop eating, and like before, my enjoyment of and desire for what I'm eating is less as I get more satisfied.

I feel full! Like there is no room to put anything else in my body. I also do the sigh.. You learn them as you go, be patient, there are many different stop points, you will only over do it a few times before you realize them..

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
