Katie, at your stage, when I ate one spoonful too much, I got sick to my stomach and usually threw it up. I learned to listen carefully to my pouch and knew when it was full. It took months for that to stop, but I still listen to my pouch.
If I ate too fast, I get too full too fast, and then the above happens.
No pain, some pressure, nausea.
It took about 8 months for that to quit, in degrees. Although even now if I eat too fast, I get full really fast. If I eat too much, I feel uncomfortable (too full), and walk around a lot.
What I fear most is not pushing my pouch to expand too much so that it won't work. So I try to be diligent.
I realize now that this is not going to be automatic - I have to really think about what I eat, and when I eat it, to stay the size I am now - and to continue to feel healthy and vital at almost 68.
HUGS!
