Is this fullness?

[citizenwill 7]

Hi,

I am 13 days post of and have a question.

After I eat I have this feeling of food or liquid sitting at the back of my throat. It feel like I could throw up if I tried but it just sits there. After awhile it subsides and disappears.

It's kind of hard to describe but I have been using this as a sign of fullness. Is this true?

Thanks.

I do believe that's one way to describe it.

For me it's not in my throat but right at the top of my tummy.

Whew... good.

It's hard to figure out the new sensations. I am currently trying to figure out head hunger and real hunger. That's a pickle.

I'm used to shoveling food in anytime, all the time that I forgot what real hunger felt like. Now I have to figure out what the new hunger is. lol..

I am 8 weeks post op and I get that feeling when I eat to fast. It's not comfortable.

That may be the reason. I still eat to fast.

I am having trouble slowing down. I'll have to work on that.

It took me a long time, you will get to a place (as long as you eat slowly and pay attention) where you can recognize the bite that is one bite away from discomfort. Once you've hit the discomfort or it feels like its in your throat you've gone too far. You will get it. Pay attention to your body.

Got it. Thanks.
