I have been on "soft proteins" for almost a week now and for the most part, I've been okay. I have had a couple of times when I took two or three bites too many and my tummy let me hear about it! One time we were at Knott's berry Farm and I had a bowl of chili (not even a quarter of it, really). It was so good, but apparently too spicy for me at this time. I had heartburn within an hour and the rest of the evening, felt generally awful. When I went back to the hotel room, I tried a couple of tums, thinking that would help. But it almost immediately sent me running to the bathroom! I ended up losing most, if not all, my dinner. Then, I made the mistake of drinking Water too fast to clear the taste in my mouth and guess what? back in the bathroom again! That was Friday night and since then, I have been very careful about paying attention to my body and being sure I stop when I reach that full point. I have had a few times where I have been uncomfortable for a bit, but no more throwing up!

My body hiccups when the sleeve starts to get full. It's kinda cute. I'm just glad that I have some kind of warning alarm, cause pre sleeve I was notorious for eating till I couldnt eat anymore.

It's amazing. ...I ate 2 oz of turkey thin sliced deli meat and mild Chedder cheese for lunch, and my tummy felt soooo full. It's bizarre and going to take some time to get used to eating such small portions.

I was rushing this morning with my two yr old trying to get to daycare and work and mindlessly scarfed down 1/2 slice of toast with cream cheese.:-/ ...As soon as I realized it, I just new id pay for what I had just done but thank God it was uncomfortable for a few minutes but it passed quickly....Has anyone ever done something like this, just briefly forgot they had a sleeve?... For me things have gotten back to normal so sometimes I have to remind myself if not my Sleeve will and I hate when that happens!!

Just did it a few days ago and my original post was similar to yours! I was cutting watermelon and "sampling" piece after piece and then it hit me. I almost dropped to my knees and shortly thereafter was in the bathroom vomiting. That was my lesson this week but I'm still surprised that for one moment I had completely forgotten I had surgery. Old habits die hard I guess! I'm sure you will be fine too!

Today was my first day at work and I scarfed down a bunch of chicken nuggets. That sucked ass.

Ok, I'm seeing others have a tell for when they are full, like a burp or hiccup. So far, I have not noticed that I have one. I serve myself very small portions, such as 1/4 cup, so I keep eating until its gone bc that's what my old lifestyle brain is telling me to do. Then I finish and extremely nauseated for a while because I have eaten to much. Perhaps maybe a smaller serving? What do others do to notice then they are full? Also, I used to drink and eat at the same time to moisten my mouth between bites, and it's extremely difficult for me to eat without drinking, everything feels dry, even if it's not, suggestions of how I can help that?

I get a tightness in my chest. I've felt nauseated as well if I eat too fast. I started chewing my food longer to prolong the taste and make it smaller and that has helped
