Proud2BMe 1,016 Posted May 12, 2016 After your surgery it will take time to learn the knew signs of when to stop eating. It took me a long time to learn the signs. I threw up a lot because I over ate. For me, there are two signs. The first sign is when I first feel the restriction kicking in. This is often very subtle in feeling. I normally stop then and there and feel fully satiated. However, I can eat past that point. The next sign is not subtle. It is very obvious that I am stuffed and I feel uncomfortable. I know that if I even take one more bite I will likely throw up. I also begin to slime at that point. In time you will get used to it and just automatically stop at the first sign of restriction.

I'm thinking I just have to figure my new tummy out too☺ Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't thrown up yet..(except when I drank coffee one morning and tea after- never again!)... Thank you for your feedback, its comforting knowing that I'm not the only one whos going or has been thru this..and that it does take time..????
