Whats your "full" signal?

[knitlil09 91]

I just started mushies today. I had a scrambled egg and ate the whole egg. I feel no different and wonder why I could eat so much. I felt no restriction burp nothing. I saw the Dr. today and joked with him was he sure he did the surgery because my stomach always feels empty. Any one have any thought?[/quotei don't know what the Mishima phase entails for you, but I didn't start getting my full signals until I was on soft foods. When I eat something like yogurt, I don't feel it because it goes through so quickly. Maybe try something a little more dense if your plan allows.

I get a tightness in my chest. Almost like I can feel the food sitting in my throat. If I am eating too fast and have another bite in my mouth when the tightness starts, I have learned to spit it out (when I'm alone) because that one last bite will put me over and make me feel gross.

I also get hiccups with or without the full sensation. I know if hiccups start, I have to quit eating. I've had more hiccups after surgery than I have my entire life, I think...

I am limited to just 5 bites per meal.... 3 meals a day. Sometimes that is enough and I start to burp. Sometimes I feel hungry about 2 hours later.

@Reddrobin If you just started eating mushies I wouldn't worry about it. I just progressed to soft foods and I'm just starting to feel like my stomach is full a little with the runny nose thing. Up until now, I haven't really felt full on the liquids or pureed food -- I just measured my food and ate that much or stopped if I started feeling kind of uncomfortable.

I'm not sure but for me it seems like it took a while for me to start having a 'full' sensation.

I get the hiccups or a heavy feeling in my upper chest area.

Definitely hiccups. However, last week I had 1 bbq'd rib with no hiccups. An hour later I barfed. No other symptoms. This was the first time I've ever barfed something I had eaten without actually having a stomach bug. What's worse is that I was in a class, and barely made it to the trash can by the door before it came up. I had to leave for the day.

The painfully full feeling. I will go from feeling fine to UUGGHH in a .5 second. Sometimes I will get that really loud an huge hiccup that people talk about too.

Hiccups or a tupperware burp.

I get the burps but if I ignore there is a sharp pain under my collar bone

Hiccup is my "stop" signal too!

I'm almost 4 weeks out. When I was first learning I would eat until it felt like it was backing up into my throat. Seriously only a few bites. Not like I was trying to pig out or anything. Lol now I don't really have anything that happens but I just get this feeling like "I'm done. No more." It's kind of weird to just know "ok that's enough." Even when your head wants more. But I haven't had the backed up to my throat sensation in quite awhile so I guess I've figured it out now. [/QUOT

I still get that backed up to my throat feeling and that could be on my first or second " bite". I'm 7 weeks out and hate that feeling.

Hiccup and burping

Hiccup and burping

I'm 1 tear out on July 11th. In the beginning I was burping and hiccups. After one year out since I can eat more now I rely on measuring. I make sure to eat 3 to 4 OZ of Protein and maybe .25 of a cup of veggies or cottage cheese.< /p>
