Feeling sick_ overstuffed or what?

[shadena32 0]

Hello Guys it's been a while, I am doing well and i think i am at my sweet spot!!!!! But i have a question about full signals. I think i am missing my initial full signal because when i am done eating i feel sick to my stomach, i never threw up but it feels like i need too! also i am not having any stuck episodes either. The feeling passes after about 20 mins then i am fine. I am eating about 1 1/2 cups a food. If full is the reason for me feeling like this then i really need help listening to the full signals cause this is the pits!!!! Can some of my Lapband buddies help me with this?

Thanks Guys!!!!

I think it's a tricky thing learning to listen to our bodies. I would say just measure 1/2 cup less than you eat now...then just stop even if you don't get your full feeling yet...you might find that satisfied is different from full.

For me, food stops tasting good and I don't want to eat anymore...but then I am still on liquids, I have heard some people talk about soft signals as things like...a burp, a hiccup, a pain in the shoulder...stuff like that. Just try going super slow and trying to feel in between bites for a soft signal maybe.

You have come so far you are doing awesome. Very inspirational Good luck finding your full signal.

There isn't really a full signal. It feels different, usually when i stand up I can feel the food. Just eat slowly, and try eating a little less and see if that helps. I noticed if I eat too much I just feel crappy, it's not a puke feeling, I just don't feel good and I have a lot of gas.
