Can't tell when I'm full or not

I'm having a hard time trying to distinguish when I'm full. I stop eating because I know I shouldn't eat more than x amount. But, as far as feeling discomfort or throwing up I'm not getting these signals. Anyone else feeling like this??

I'm having the same issues. I don't feel hungry (except I get really tired when I don't eat), and then when I do eat, I can't tell if I've eaten too little or too much or what....I haven't felt discomfort or vomited, either. I think we just have to train our brains to recognize the signals, but not sure how to do that.

I had surgery on 4-18-07 and I am having the same problem. I have just been measuring out my meals and stopping. It must be a common thing at first. What type of foods are you on now?

I have the same problem as well. I have to remind myself to eat and when I do eat I measure it cause I have not felt full yet. Also it takes me 30 mins to hour to eat though.

I'm having the same problem too, I am so glad you posted this. I've not had ANY nausea or discomfort, well actually just once when I had some gatorade, but never a real 'full' feeling I'm hoping to get that full feeling when I get to eat some actual food.

Me too. Scary but normal, it sounds like. DD

I think it is pretty normal in the beginning not to feel full. I just measure. from what I understand we do get full when we start on solids lol Jen

I just got back from my surgeons office for my post-op appointment...I'm down 15 lbs in 9 days..wooohooo. OK got that off my chest. I asked him about not feeling full. He said you should never feel "full". He said feeling "full" got you to where you are and why you needed this surgery. He said you should only eat until your satisifed or until your hunger is gone. He said the best thing to do is measure..measure. Only eat the amount you are allowed. And I'm finally allowed purees for a week then on to soft food next Thursday whi*****ludes crackers and toasted bread...woohooo!!!

Yes I have the same thing...I feel nothing...but I do hiccup after about 20-30 mins...Then I know I am full..
