I have no clue how to tell and I don't want to keep going to find out!

But I started puree heaven today and I'm eating spoonfuls like before. And I feel like I have a gigantic burp in my chest is this full? Haha I don't know!

If you think you might be full, that's the best time to stop. Push it away and see how you feel in 5 minutes.

The advice I got from my NUT was to stop eating when I'm satisfied, not full. I take small bites and chew thoroughly and take 5-6 minutes between bites. This has helped a lot.

Yeah I don't take my time. I just bought baby spoons that will hopefully help me out.

@@Aribay1, I think so. See how it feels when you try it. I've been surprised at how little I eat to get to satisfied.

I still can't tell when I'm full I think I can when I feel pressure on my heart but I feel like I can still go.

@@Aribay1, when you feel that pressure you are full. To me it feels like a burp that wants to come up but isnt. It may be something called "frothing". This is your new anatomy creating froth to help digest the food and it may come up a little if you over do it.

Oh I do the same too. One giant burn. But when I take bites and swallow I burp a lot. Too fast?

Yes, could be and it may be creating Extra air as you swallow.

I get what I call my tupperware burp. Also can get hiccups or sneezes or a bit of runny nose.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
