Where do YOU feel full??

[hokiemama 13]

It's so weird to miss the feeling of the fullness and stretching in the lower belly. I can't count the number of times that I complained that my stomach HURT because I had overeaten so much that I was miserable. Why would I miss that? I agree that it's just habit, comfort, and how things always were. But not anymore. Eating to live instead of living to eat is so challenging for those of us here. I truly love the taste of some foods and just want to taste more of it and keep eating when I'm full. The band is definately helping me with that. Fortunately, I haven't vomited since being banded and I really don't want to. I have had pain in my lower chest (upper stomach) area though from eating too much or too fast. My concern is that this is my pouch stretching too far at this point. I've also had a hiccup at the last bite. I haven't noticed a runny nose (that is an interesting sign). That's one reason I started this topic was also to see if there are signs that others have (soft signs) that I may have missed as a sign for myself. Replies are always appreciated and helpful. Thanks.

Lately I've been getting a headache...maybe that's from beginning my "all" food. I will get burps when I am full and shouldn't eat more. Just have to remind myself I'm uncomfortable because I'm full not because I'm still hungry! And it is good to step back and ask yourself.."have you eaten what you should?" then you shouldn't be hungry right now.

I haven't burped since surgery, lol.

BUT, this headache thing, OMG I thought my bf was going to have to take me to the hospital last night. It was brutal. Stabbing pain and it seriously probably took over an hour to go away. I thought I ate too much, but maybe I ate too fast?? I've only been on 'real' foods for a little over a week. I didn't have anything crazy, 4 little chicken tenders and some cheese. Didn't drink either. I'm glad I'm not alone....even though it's a crap side effect.
