I had my gastric sleeve done on June 10th and this was one of my bigger fears. But, since surgery, I know to the bite when I'm done. While I know things might change with time, its beyond simple to tell now when I'm done. So if you're worried about your body telling you to be done, its not as hard as you might be worried about.
What is harder is convincing myself that is ok. I can't keep food down if I over-eat (as in one bite too many), so I'm not actually tempted to overeat. But, especially if I'm enjoying a meal or company, its harder to just feel ok with ending the meal, because I'm not used to 2 ounces truly being enough. Its more head-hunger than anything else.
