One bite made all the difference. I can't say that I found a "full" feeling; still don't seem to feel full like I did before surgery. But, I did find that by slowing down especially between bites, I was finally able to recognize that I didn't need or want that one last bite. Mine kind of resolved itself and I rarely have the problem now at 6 months out. I do suggest stopping between bites for a minute or so. I was a "shovel-er" and had to learn to stop shovelling.

They may be very minor but there is probably something that warns you that you are getting too full. You just haven't learned what it is. I am not being a know-it-all but had the same problem. What helped was I ate extremely consciously and noted how my body felt after every bite. After a week of doing this I started to subconsciously understand the signals. You may not feel pressure (that would indicate too full in me) and satisfaction takes 20 minutes to feel. Takes that long for the brain to register. And if you are only eating an ounce of food you are still leaqrning. At 2.5 weeks, your body is still healing so you may not notice it until you get onto denser food and your body is further healed. It will happen. I know that isn't much help but it is all I have. Denise Rasley mailto: drasley@... BTC, Columbus, 10/7/98 It takes time to get there and recognize what signals your body is giving
