What does the "sweet spot" feel like?

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

For me, I don't get hungry for about 4 hours after eating. I eat about 2/3 of a cup of food, and if I eat more, I feel way too full for a couple of hours.

My soft stop is a hic-up. That tells me to stop, and wait to take another bite. That's not necessarily when I am finished eating, but I might be eating too fast. When food gets stuck, it right at the top of the ribs, and it's very painful, just like you swallowed a golf ball. The golf ball feeling is a very good way to describe it. I can tell if it's going to go down or if it's going to come up. For the most part, if I just wait, it goes down. Sometimes I raise both my arms up in the air, and it goes down. Also, when it's stuck, it feels like it's in the esophagus, not the stomach, so the pain can be in the chest.

A soft stop is when you get a signal from your body to stop. For some people, it's a runny nose. For a lot of people, it's a hick-up

It might be listed in the Frequently asked questions sections. I am a moderator too, so I can ask the other mods where a soft stop is described.

I have had a fill 2 weeks ago and suddenly the last two days I am starving every two hours. I have been writing down what this is. I also can now again eat a cup of oatmel which is not good. I actually gained a couple of pounds whilke I am eating about 1,ooo calories and workout daily to between 400 and 500 calories....why no weight loss? do I need another fill already? I have lost about 30 lbs since Feb 11 surgery
