Pouch volume Vs Sleeve which one has more restriction?
SampTheChamp replied to Yo-yo girl's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
i had the RNY 12/18/17. It's not as bad as it sounds. I"m almost 5 months out and I'm doing pretty good. I can eat foods without issue and can definitely eat more that 1 oz. That may be the case right after surgery but it gets better over time as it heals. -
Eastern Shore, MD here. Congrats on starting your journey. I started following you. My IG is @sampthechamp HW: 475 SW: 444 CW: 336

Yeah Buddy!!! It's about that time to get ready for a life changer!!!! Trust me, you are in good hands. Fitz will take care of you. It's actually not too bad of a recovery. The hardest part is the mental aspect of it. Your mind contantly runs trying to figure out how to process what's happening. You're all good. The physical part will take care of itself. The mental is the most exhausting. You got this. I just seen Suzanne last week. She rocks. I'm here if you need anything. -
You should be. Your life is about to get real good. Just remember to take it one day at a time. I'm almost 4 months out and I'm a completely different person. It's insane!!! Good luck to you and keep us posted. You got all of our support.

Trust me, you'll definitely know!! Hahaha. It doesn't take long to be able to take big drinks and chug. I can drink pretty fast at almost 4 months out. I can't chug a whole bottle water, but I can get after it pretty good. -

Super easy. It'll let you know if you do too much. It's all mental. Over the first few days it gets easier as you go. Nothing to worry about. -
