How Can I Tell When My Sleeve Is Full

[carriecat 12]

I am almost 5 months out and it's usually between 7-9 bites for me. Once I hit that point, I wait a few minutes and if I get 5 hiccups, I know I'm done. Very good job eating the chicken first! Good luck and you will figure it all out in time.

I am 8 days out and still learning. Tonight I guess i ate one bite too many of creamed Soup and all of a sudden I was nauseous LOL like outta nowhere. Guess maybe I need to slow down even more and pay closer attention LOL

Don't feel bad, I made 1 month out yesterday, and it's only been this week, that I haven't slimed or threw up. Needless to say, I finally slowed down and started looking for signs.

I just had a cup of salad with a few grilled chicken cubes and I am so miserably full. This is the first time I ate fast and didn't go slow to feel my full signal.

I will never do this again. Oh man, I am hurting.

Always go slow!!!

Yeah, everyone's different but it seems that hiccups, a bunch of burps, "stuck in throat" feeling are the most common. I also get the runny nose.

Immediately post-op the difference between FULL and TOO FULL is like ONE LOUSY TEASPOON of food. Too much and you are in agony and most likely will barf. So take it easy, watch for the signals and know when enough is enough.

It's like the story of my life I just read! As we speak, I just finished my dinner of funny mashed potatos, and every one of these symptoms happened. Starting with the talking tummy, then the 1 hiccup, followed by tiny lump in throat, then a very slight runny nose and I'm sitting here now feeling full! Lol crazy.
