What does "FULL" feel like to you?

OK, I think my mind is playing games on me! I can not tell when I am full. I take a bite of food, chew it like 40 times. Count to 10 and take another bite. Like 5 mins later I kinda feel full...... I guess. I mean I am not hungry and mid stomach feels heavy, like in between my chest. I am thinking maybe since I see how little food I eat that I can not be full and my mind is saying......keep eating, but then I say, I really am not hungry anymore.......I am soooooo confused.!

Full.. well when i ate that 1pickle... well chewed and spit out.. but i still got the juices.. i felt full.. heavy stomach ... that is the full to me..... it feels like in the center of upper belly/chest area..... ...and my mind knows that ok my stomach only holds this much.. so stop stop... no more...... I cant beleive u got to have chili and we are the same surgery day ..erg... i cant until im a month out... i want it .

I can relate I seem to misunderstand when I'm full there are foods I eat where after couple of spoons I feel full and I stop eating...but....yesterday I had chilli and after going half a cup of the Wendy's chilli I felt like whoa I'm eating too much and I stopped although I wasn't full.....I get so confused to

My problem is that when I stop eating before my 2oz of food because I feel full, I am hungry 1-2 hours later. I do work out every day, but I feel guilty when I eat a snack. I have found that when I need just a little more, I eat some SF Jell-O. Even though it is flavored water, it feels me up really quick.

I'm still struggling with the notion of "full". Like you, my eyes say "heeeeey, this is so little and there's some left" but my body says "pleeeeeease don't eat anymore." It seems to be a heaviness in the chest and stomach .. and more, if I start to feel like I need to burp, I've learned that that is a sign the pouchie has had enough. After a month, I'm practicing putting down my spoon for a full minute between bites and after each ounce, I actually push the bowl or plate away and see what I think. 9 times out of 10, I don't want any more. This is a huge learning process between body and mind. Sometimes I think I am just losing my mind! hehe. Janice

i get a feeling in my mid chest that says, no more. i am trying really hard to be mindful of each bite of food, so that i dont just continue to eat until my alloted portion is gone. sometimes i really dont need it. Mindfullness is the key I think. Dawn
