Today I catered a luncheon for a group I work with. Many of these do not know I was sleeved and are not at a level I would share this info with. So when I went through the line I placed one fried chicken thigh, 1/2 a tortilla wrap (made with cold cuts, lett, tomato) a small scoop of potato salad and a small slice of cake. I had no intention of eatting it all but I did with no feeling of restriction. I even went back for another small serving of dessert!

I know I blew my diet and one day is one day so I fell down and I get up and keep going but I am shocked I ate it all with no restriction! I am almost 20 weeks out and have lost 43.6lbs. I do not usually eat this way but I am very concerned about the lack of restriction when I did put my pouch to the test! That is a heck of a lot of food compared to my usual. Most days I do Protein shake twice a day and one meal protein and veggies. Only Snacks I do is either Greek yogurt, string cheese, or sugarfree pudding and no more than two snacks per day, so that I stay low carb and low cal. I can't believe the amount I could eat today! What happen to my restriction?

A lot of foods can slide right through. The higher the fat content the easier it is for the food to pass. Sweets are also notorious for this.

Dr. Voellinger did my soon to be ex-wife's RNY..too.

I don't usually eat fried food or sweets so I guess I am just in shock that I don't feel the restriction! I feel full off my regular menu and just never push my self to feel restricted so I thought I had a safety net I obviously don't

Hrm, I'm not sure! I seem to be able fit more than other times, too. Just get back up and get back on the plan!

Totally true John!

I wish more people would see this pre op as to be more prepared.

And I find this to be true also! somedays it as if my stomach "relaxes" and I can eat the world.

Other days its hard to eat anything

I ate things on Christmas that I don't usually eat. I thought I made good choices but because I didn't prepare them, I didn't realize how much hidden fat or sugar was in them and wound up with a wicked case of Dumping Syndrome @ about 2:00 am. Not fun!! The same thing can happen by forcing undigested food through your stomach, into your intestines. Please be careful! DS feels like food poisoning. Something you'll definitely want to avoid!

Unfortunately I have deal with a lot of diareaha since surgery. My PCP thinks I may have gallbladder problems. However since I got put on prescription Iron that is no longer and issue :-p.

Enjoying a healthy salad tonight. This may sound crazy but I almost wish I had DS or some other bad effect so I would have a strong reminder not to do that again.
