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..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
