Your tummy will tell you. A lot of us get a sign...I get something between a burp & a hiccup, others get hiccups, I even heard of one person who starts sneezing!

I am 5 weeks out, and I get this funny feeling where it just seems that the tip top of my stomach is being reached...I think how you are describing how you eat now is not really "scared" to over eat but what I have heard some call "undereating" the sleeve--which most veterans say is a good practice...so far I have yet to over eat my sleeve capacity to where it has made me feel ill--a little uncomfortable maybe--but not ill or close to reflux or regurgitating...I hope to keep it that way

My fullness is more in my throat...not my belly. I rarely eat enough to feel it though...it's kind if uncomfortable.

As far as eating out I usually order Soup. If its just my family, my husband orders his meal and I order soup or salad. He has some (most) of my salad and I eat mostly whatever Protein he ordered with a little of my salad. I eat such a small amount he doesn't mind sharing.

If I eat until I FEEL full, it's too late, I am miserable. My dietitian told us at the seminar, to "under eat" your sleeve. At seven weeks out, I was getting about 400 - 450 calories per day, you're fine, I'm sure. Track your calories and Protein, drink as much as you possibly can......and you'll watch yourself melt away!!! Oh, I always did and still do weigh and measure my food because I know how much I can eat, and I don't like to over do. Eating a little less than you can "hold" is not a bad thing. Good luck!!!! BTW - this is NOT a crazy question, not at all!!!
