How do you all feel about your restriction at a year out? Mine is drastically reduced. Sometimes I feel I can eat like a normal person, other times I can really feel it. Input please....:)

I was just talking to my hubby about this. Most of the time i dont feel any restriction (but i feel hunger) and its a struggle to keep myself from continuing to eat.

But every once in a while i eat something and i feel instantly restricted. Very oddwith no pattern i can identify

I will say that i have been at goal weight for almost 6 months now which is the longest in recent memory. Typically i would reach goal and almost immediately begin to regain

I still have great restriction, although it is less that it was 6 months ago. A few meal examples for me: one egg with 1/2 piece of toast, one taco, about 2-3 oz of Protein with 2-3 bites of veggie.

I am 7 weeks pregnant now, so I am curious to see how that changes things. Good luck to you.

I still feel restriction, but I think my portions are usually normal enough looking that I don't feel weird anymore when eating in front of people.

I still stop in the middle of eating to give me time to figure out if I should eat more or not. This has saved me so many times from becoming too uncomfortable. :)

This sounds about like me. However, that said, if I eat eat carby sort of things, they are mostly sliders and I can eat way more. I try to avoid these things or if I am going to have them, limit it. If I "think" I need more I will eat a Protein - instant restriction.

For me it depends, some days I for instance I can eat two chicken enchiladas with two spoon fills of Beans, other days I won't be able to finish one enchilada. It just depends.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
