Thanks, I shall adopt that same theory. If I master that, I will be successful with my new tool.

I think it was about 5-6 weeks after surgery that I felt a restriction.  It also seems to coincide when you start eating foods that are more dense.

I felt restriction from the beginning.  I did experience hunger, a few hours after eating (or having a protein shake when still on liquids), though.  Just before I went on full solids, at 6 weeks, I found I was getting hungry after an hour or two, though when I did eat, I'd fill up very fast.  The NUT said that my starting to feel hungry was most likely a sign that I'd healed up enough to go on the full solids diet.  I have never had a period when I didn't experience hunger, like some, but I was satiated quickly and then wouldn't be hungry again until it was time to eat again.

I started feeling it once I was healed and eating solid foods.  But not much, since I've never eaten to full!

I'm still having a hard time stopping before full. I had two grilled shrimp, and felt like I was going to give the up. I am soooo stuffed this is an horrible feeling

Measure the food you can eat and only put that on your plate.
