I have never felt that pain or tightness that others have described. I loved Jack's answer.

In my case it is more of a gentle sensation. I feel satisfied/no longer hungry and actually full. If I feel any discomfort, I know I have overdone it a bit. When my nose starts running or I hiccup I know to start looking for that full or satisfied feeling. I may not get either of those things every meal, so I have to eat slow to recognize it which I do anyway because of the band.

I eat on small, salad or dessert plates. I eat in bowls those things that need to be in bowls, but those things I measure because all I have is the large soup/cereal bowls.
