What's your sign that you are full?

[Tamgredan]

Ive just been writing about this in my diary and thought if we all add our little signs we get from our bodies that we are full we may help other.
I remember reading in a book when doing my research into WLS that your body will give a sign of fullness. It could be anything from a yawn, burp to an itchy ear.

I get a series of about 3 hiccupy burps.

I Yawn.........alot!! x

 

[blueeyes]

I yawn as well but I figured out that the yawning is actually when I over eat and a sign of mild dumping! So I have to stop earlier ... Just a few mouthfuls earlier!

Ummm interesting will have to take notice as I haven't noticed anything yet I don't think lol x

Just the tight block sensation in my chest, you get to learn by looking at the amount you're eating as well, like that plus eating slowly you gradually know when to stop.

I used too get the tightness in my chest all the time but that is a bit of a hit and miss with me now, sometimes I get it, or I get hiccups, or just feel like if I was too swallow another mouthful, then a trip too the loo would be in order (soz for tmi,lol). Like NeeN I know roughly how much I normally eat and have learned to manage portion sizes. HTH xxx Julie xxx

[soon2Byummymummy!]

i get the tight feeling in my chest as well as a couple of hiccups and if i have eaten too much i get left shoulder pain too xx

 

[Rebirth]

I get an uncomfortable feeling in the middle of my chest and end up burping a lot. If I ignore this I get a pain in my shoulder blades near the ribs.

Sorry, hope you don't mind that I had a bypass, not a band?

 

[Tamgredan]

Nice to see the variety!

 

[BeaBea]

Continual burping if I go just a bit over ... like right now

Sorry, hope you don't mind that I had a bypass, not a band?

The more the merrier chick xx

I get the hiccups, but I also try to control the portion size x

 

[katiebaby]

Does this mean that you don't feel full in the traditional way of feeling full?

 

[lotsabeefy]

I dont but i think some do x

 

[Marie1986]

[katiebaby]

Arrr light bulb moment - I had a car accident a few years ago & had to have some bones removed out off my chest was a bit sore every now & again but had settled down. Have had the band fitted 3 ish weeks ago thought it was my old war wound playing up again but after reading previous comments I know realise it's over eating phew thank god
