What does restriction feel like?

[mommyjamie 83]

I just started full liquids and was given the okay for cream of wheat. I took 2 oz of that and added 1 oz of milk ( made w 1% milk too). I was almost done and got a squeezing in my belly right under my boobs. Is that my new sleeve telling me to stop?

Yes it sure is telling you that your done.I also start to burp when its time to stop. I know tmi but more info is better then none.

I get the same thing.. I get the hiccups and my chest gets real tight as if I ate something super dry and need to drink to push it down.. Keeping track of what you eat, taking your time will really help with that. I had the hardest time with it when coming home and forcing Protein Shakes down and when starting to real food.. Good luck!

No hiccups or burping yet, but I get what feels like a cramp in my chest and then stop. I ate my hot Cereal super slow on a baby spoon so I would know when I'm done. I'm so glad to feel that restriction!

The other signs are still to come. You're being careful right now..........Just wait till later when you're in a hurry or forget to eat slow, (eating fast is a hard habit to break) and you fork it down too quick........then you will know "too full". Not much you can do then but just be uncomfortable till it passes.

I measure all my food to be sure of portion size, but if I eat too fast, it still gets me.
