What's your sign? Your FULL sign!
Prior to my surgery I had never even heard of having a "sign" where your body tells you that you are full. Since then I have heard everything from a runny nose to a triple hiccup. As I'm starting out on my road (day 6 post op- yay) I'm trying to figure out if I have a sign and if so, what it is. Ironically, as I write this and sip my protein shake I have both a runny nose and just hiccuped.
So...what's your sign? ;)

The rapid-fire burplets are a sign. Unfortunately, they are usually a sign that I've gone over the comfort line. I'll usually just feel full, but sometimes I still eat too dang fast and miss the first bell. Then the burplets tell me that I'm going to feel a bit gross for a while, in payment for not eating mindfully.
I am finally getting a full feeling back, I can feel it like I did pre-op and if I eat slow enough I am good, but when I eat too fast it's bad. I think I eat less now because I can finally feel being full so I stop where before I gave my self 2 or 3 ounces then ate it all cause I didn't feel full....
Crazy surgery! LOL

When my nose starts to run, I quit eating!
I have a friend who was lapband, and she also had the sniffles signal. Unfortunately, she ignored
her signal, overate, and stretched out her esophagus to the point that she has to have a revision
to RNY to keep her esophagus from being her entire stomach.
Bummer.
