I was sleeved 2/19 and have lost 101 pounds! But two things have recently happened I thought was sorta weird. First, I've developed an allergy to all produce that is non-organic. I've never had a food allergy before and now I get itchy all over and a tight chest any time I eat non-organic produce.

The second thing is that sometimes I can eat a lot more (well a lot for a sleeved person) compared to other times. For example, last week I was able to eat a half a sandwich before I was full and this morning I couldn't even finish half of an egg.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Can't help with your questions but congratulations on your loss!

Yes, this has happened to me. One day I can eat more and the next not so much. Mysurgeon said this is normal. The produce thing......Did you start eating all organic when this started?

yes, my restriction definitely varies. I notice that I have more restriction premenstrually, which is probably a good thing bc that's when I have the most cravings.

Ooh i hope that will happen to me!

OP, as far as the organic, i dont have a good explanation for you, but I believe it. Food allergies can be really difficult to pinpoint, but if eating organic keeps the itchiness away, then do so! I have been afflicted for years with urticaria (hives) & angioedema (big hives/ deep tissue swelling). I believe I am sensitive to nonorganic meat and dairy; i am allergic to many antibiotics & i think i react to any that is given to the animals. So i stick to organic the best I can. On top of that, I take zyrtec every single day, so you might try that.

Yes, my restriction definitely varies also. Some days I feel like I can eat more (but don't, I usually stop at about the same amount), and other days I can only get in a few bites.

For sure even at 2 years post op my restriction fluctuates quite a bit! Normal :-) also since post op I can't tolerate artificial sweetners... So it's not uncommon to have adverse reactions to chemicals (such as preservatives in produce?)
