i think i felt full!
In my pre-RNY life i used to treat myself to meals out by myself once a week. this was my time to read a book, eat something horribly bad and drink unlimited diet coke. My top choices to do this were McD's, Boston Market or Wendy's. Today i decided that I would make a trip out and see how it went - Boston Market being the only acceptable choice for me now. I love me some turkey. I got the turkey, green beans and mashed potatos. i ate the part of turkey i allotted myself first, then a few string beans and lastly the potatos. i'm a sucker for mashed potatos. but i felt this odd feeling. i panicked a little - am i going to dump? is there too much butter hidden in here??? I stopped eating and waited. kept reading my book. nothing happened. more reading. still nothing. still wanted those potatos, but got a to-go top and went on my way, shopping in the nearby plaza and sipping my water.
i found full - and stopped. amen!

One thing I have noticed is that before my band, I could always eat a little more. But now, full is full. I've literally left "1 last bite" on my plate and pushed it away.
This is how normal people feel, on normal portions of food. This is not how I ever felt pre-band!
