My New Full Signal

[june13sleever 223]

Almost 8 months out and this signal has been going on for about a month. I make a plate and if I am done I look at the plate and take a deep breath like...I am done...no more...that's enough. It always happens unless it was just a small snack like a piece of cheese. I just don't want anymore. I feel fine, no sick feeling I just know if I keep eating I will probably get sick. I don't have the hiccups anymore. Sometimes I can eat a lot more than another day, but no matter what I have an automatic system and most of the time there is always still food left over. I also don't feel bad anymore about throwing it away if it isn't something that I can reheat.

I have a living disposal -- My Dog! Hee Hee! Seriously though, my signal is one small belch. I get shocked sometimes by the little it takes. So either I package it to sit in the fridge, throw it in the trash, or give it to my dog. I'm careful to monitor the amount I give him, so I don't make it a daily habit.

Since my capacity has increased a lot recently, it is good to read that the restriction lasts much longer! I think I'm probably at max capacity for my sleeve. I'm able to eat between 6 and 8 oz now that I am fully healed. I hope that's going to be my limit.

Today was my first day eating real food and it did feel good to have a warm satisfied kind of feeling which I never had with liquids. I have to admit that I pretty much stopped eating when I was just bored of it! It took so long to get 2 ounces of tuna fish down that I finally just put it away! I used to wolf down food. I finally realize what a difference this surgery has made.

I guess it will take me some time to truly determine what full feels like. Right now I am just being very careful not to overeat.

When I'm full, I get this ick feeling. Then I will start sneezing and get a runny nose,so I try to stop before this. Sometimes my stomach actually stings when I eat something with sugar. I'm still learning about my stomach.
