Finding myself

Getting very full faster, I know this is good but I barely ate a 1/4 cup and a cheese stick is filling me up after about 3 quarters the way through. After ward my stomach just constantly rumbles...
 
I know it is a fullness because any thought of another bite has me rolling my eyes going NOOOOOOO!!!! Hmm hopefully it will stay this way forever.

I loved having the tight restriction early out, but unfortunately, it doesnt' stay that way.  I still can't eat like I used to (which is a good thing), but your pouch will be able to hold 4-6 ounces comfortably about 18 months out.  Some days it seems I can eat everything without getting full some days its the opposite. 

Eat until you feel the fullness, even if you haven't finished your 1/4 cup and cheese stick.  Eating that "one more" bite may put you beyond and give you the foamies or just plain make you miserable. 

My pouch still rumbles and talks to this day - and it probably will forever!

I am almost 5 months out and I can eat a cup and half sometimes, others times only 1/2 cup.  Enjoy it while it lasts... Listen to your body and stop as soon as you can....it's all about creating new habits.  Sounds like you are doing good!!
