I feel like some days I have no restriction. Granted after eating the 4 oz I'm not hungry at all, but don't feel full. (I do feel satisfied) and some days I can't even eat 4oz.

My restriction is really weird too. Some days I feel like two bites will make me bursts, and others I have no problem eating 6-8 oz and feeling satisfied. I notice it really depends on what I did for Breakfast. shake mornings I notice more restriction. Soft boiled egg and a bacon or avocado slice morning I have less. I guess it depends on how stretched it gets. Lol.

Thanks, April.. Good to know, I'm on psych meds, too, and wasn't aware of this. Another question for everyone- do you find your restriction is the same or does it feel like you can eat more as the weeks go by.? I feel like I can; worried about old habits creeping in.

Yup. I could only eat 2 oz. then 3. Now if it's something like tuna I CAN eat 4 but I measure out 3. I use a food scale religiously.

Mine also loosens up throughout the day. At night I can eat the full 3 oz

Do you guys find that you think you can eat more than you actually can? My doc wants us eating 4 oz now and I can only get in between 2.5-3 tops. I measure out 4 and then I measure what I have left over. I find myself wanting to eat more, but I just can't. You know that saying "my eyes are bigger than my stomach"? Lol

Great progress, SJ! I'm going to get on the pictures, too.

Props to SJ! Lookin all that and a bag of Oreos... Ummm... I meant Protein Shake

[Sarahjane79 397]

Thanks guys! ♡ I don't see it quite yet, except in my back side and face. But I feel like a million bucks.

I find that I can eat more than I did with the band and more than my nutritionist thought I could. But my surgeon isn't worried so neither is my nut. I am very comfortable and so so happy. I can eat a reasonable amount and still lose weight and keep my sugars stable.

Really bad heartburn today. Hardly able to eat today. Very tired because not getting much. Finally got some Prilosec & trying to get some chicken in. Prilosec is the only one that works for. On a good note from highest weight Dow 43 lbs & down 34 lbs from surgery day.

I've taken my ppi (protonix) since surgery. I had severed GERD so I was on it pre-surgery. My surgeon said not to go off of it Bc my heartburn will flare back up and stomach acid also gets confused for hunger pangs. Stay on Prilosec daily.
