What are some signs and symptoms you look for to indicate you've had enough? I notice I'll do one big hiccup, and that's usually a signal for me lol. Any other odd signs?

I get that full feeling right above my ribs, and if I continue eating, my nose will start to run and I start producing more saliva. (Sorry, kinda gross). After pushing myself too far last week, I'm learning to listen to my body better.

I'm noticing it's very difficult in the beginning listening for those cues. Lol. I hear a lot of people say their nose starts to run...hmmm

I get a hiccup, too. My husband has picked up a lovely habit of yelling FULL when he hears it ;-)

I get hiccups sometimes but not all the time I have that full feeling once I've eaten to much

Yes a hiccup and slight pressure under my ribs. Sometimes a tightness in my chest (or maybe that's from eating too fast :-(

My sign is a combo hiccup and burp. It's only started happening since I started on the soft foods and because I measure everything, O've only gotten there a few times. Most often I measure and stop when my 1 or 2 ounces (depends on the food consistency) is gone.

Lol my guy does that too when he hears my hicburp (it's a combo). At least they get it & know the meal for us is over. :)

I feel like I don't get many bites before I get the discomfort and burping sensation. Will I ever be able to bit into food and enjoy it like before. Or will this be forever. Having two bites, chewing 50x and then oh I'm full.

My tip of the day: stop at the hiccup/burp and just get away from the food. I made the mistake last night of eating just a bit more deli chicken and I was in so much pain that I started to cry and have a panic attack. I will never do that again. Head hunger can really cause pain if you let it take over!

I get pressure and feel like I'm going to have reflux. I always measure out my meal. Sometimes I will walk around for 10mins and the feeling will go away...or I walk to the bathroom....ick!!! I'm only 5weeks out, so still learning to be mindful of the chewing and tiny bites. I totally drank from a straw yesterday without even thinking!!! How does that happen??? Getting off subject here, but sometimes I feel so spacey! I think I need more protein!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
