Full? Or keep eating?

[biddykm 21]

I'm having a hard time determining when I'm full?

The feeling that something is stuck? Does that mean I've over eaten?

Of course, throwing up and hiccups.. I get that..

But I'm not catching on easy to when enough is enough???

For me, I eat 2 ounces at a time. Once I finish the 2 ounces I wait for a few minutes. If I get a tiny burp I know Im one more bite away from the hiccups and I never ever go past the hiccups. I have not thrown up once and only felt discomfort once in the beginning (Ive been sleeved for 3 weeks). I had 3 ounces of cream Soup and it was uncomfortable so I decided to do 2 ounces every 2 or 3 hours.

I am two months out and have learned from the board that everyone is different in this respect. I also have a hard time gauging when I am full, but it is because I sometimes eat too fast. The best thing to do is like bunny said; figure out a set amount, eat it slowly and then wait about 10 or 15 minutes. If you are full, you should feel it by then. I know that I will eat four-six ounces and then 10 or 15 minutes I feel a definite full feeling. Good luck finding your full!

Slow and deliberate is the key. Visualize your meal before you start. Keep your mind on what you are doing: small portions, time between small bites. Think about how you feel after a few bites and give the feeling time to set in. You will learn to stop before the slimes and discomfort. This tool will work for you but don't expect big pain with it. That comes when we eat way too fast and too much.

Gone are the days when we eat with mind disengaged. Talk to your tablemates but return to your main task quickly.

I'm still having issues gauging "full". My kitchen scale has been the best tool other than my little Sleeven Colbert.
