Satisfied Vs Full

[wildrose1966 396]

I think my biggest learning curve to date (surgery Sept 17th), is trying to differenciate between satisfied and full. I think that for the last 40ish years I have always ate til full, so learning what satisfied feels like. I try to stick with a cup of food, wait and hope to be satisfied. In speaking to friends and family, not many know the difference.

Most of us eat so fast, we never notice we are satisfied. With the band you should feel full on 1 cup. If not you may need a fill. Some early warning symptoms... hiccups, runny nose, coughing. Watch for them.

I have had 2 fills and my surgeon is conservative on the fills. I am trying to eat only 1 cup or 8oz per meal so right now I have be more aware until I hit restriction.

Wow, runny nose?! Huh, who would have thought that.

If I don't take the time to eat slow I get a really bad runny nose and that's my que that I have to stop or I will be making a trip to the restroom.
