The full sensation
I have been thinking about this for a couple of days after reading your following reply.
" I' m a little disappointed by the replies .(Thanks for them though guys) I thought the point of the surgery was to make you feel full much more quickly, not punish you if you if ate too much, with out warning."
The point of the surgery is to give you a fighting chance at changing your life. You will lose 100+ pounds in 9 months. The loss of that weight should give you the energy and ambition to get off your ass, get active and lose more weight. The most important thing that it does is give you a chance to change your eating and exercise habits. The surgery is a magic pill that lasts 1 year, if you want it to last more than that you need to change your lifestyle.
During the next year you should be able to figure out why you eat, once you figure that out you need to change your habits and learn to "eat to live" rather than "live to eat". Old habits creep back after a while and it will be up you you to change your behavior.
Get active, start doing all those things that you wished you could do but didn't because of your weight or size. If you are too busy to worry about your next meal you will make the turn towards a healthy relationship with food.
We are always here to help, some of us are successful veterans, some not so successful veterans, and many guys at or around your stage. Between all of us we have probably been through anything that you will go through. We are willing to share our successes and our failures to help you.

It took me about 9 months to fully recover hunger and full sensations as I knew them pre-op.
Until that time, I could gauge full by the development of a runny nose. Seriously. It still happens now, but always after "Full" kicks in.
I miss the lack of hunger, however. It was very nice deciding when to eat based on an alarm clock instead of my head/gut.
