you won't feel restriction until you're on solid food. Plus some of your nerves were probably cut, too. And once you do start feeling restriction and your nerves have regenerated (at least to the point where they're talking to your brain again), feeling full could feel different than it does pre-surgery. I don't feel full the same way I did before. Now I just feel - uncomfortable. Like a slight pressure in my chest. And I've learned if I keep pushing it, I'll throw up. Others have other various "full" signs - some people's noses start to run. It may take awhile to figure out what your "full" cues are. In the mean time, just measure out what you're supposed to eat and just eat that. At some point you'll know...

My favorite snack is greek yogurt. So many different flavors! I usually have one for Breakfast, but if I don't have it for breakfast, it usually ends up being my 4pm snack to hold me over if I'm having a late dinner.

My team also said no snacking except yogurt or cheese. I had yogurt every day. Bonus was they added to my Protein intake. I also ate a small amount of fruit when I was closer to goal: watermelon, berries. My other occasional treat was a teaspoon of Peanut Butter. Maybe once or twice a month.

Hi! I had a lapband to bypass revision yesterday and I am home today. I feel pretty good, but the pain when it hits is terrible. Can anyone tell me how long their post op pain lasted?
