I was like you guys ...'wtf where's my restriction !! '
But I learned better. Some people comment on how they get totally stuffed on 2-3 ounces, (even well beyond my 6 months post-op).....must be nice. I swear I could eat 7-8 oz chicken Took me 4 months to realize I needed to look at it different than them.
I Don't look for the "Feeling" of restriction any more, by the time I feel it, its too late. I ate/drank too much. Do that too often and you'll get yourself all worked up about whether you stretched your pouch or not.....**don't go their, its an overrated worry people get all worked up about unnecessarily***
I needed to learn to slow down my meals. Pause a couple minutes between my bites and give that ....Slow.. satisfied ....cue.... to reach my brain.
I was chasing the wrong sensation....
Relax.., slow down and relearn how to listen to your stomach's and enjoy the ride
Don't overly count on feeling restriction to win this. Its not a sure thing for some of us.

Our bodies need time to adjust to the new weight. It doesn't keep a schedule. I needs to be 'Nudged'( or kicked) in the right direction and takes its own sweet time.
Try changing up your workouts. You can't keep doing the same thing and keep getting results. Do more each session, change the cardio exercise for a while, Spreading cardio out is just as good as doing all at one time. Get some kettle bells, or dumbells. Weight training burns more fat than cardio overall.
Google Hiit training. Perfect if your time is limited.
*****And 15-20 min sessions 3x week,--> correctly done<-- gets more results than 1hour normal cardio 5x/week*****
You might be having too little calories someX,
I get my cardio from stair master, elliptical, and treadmill or hitting the pavement. I do combinations of those and its never the same. But I always do 45+ minutes

If your worried about losing too much, eat more. "Increase" your Protein intake, eat more carbs...
Your allowed to have them. Its not a sin. Just up what your getting
