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..

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
