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.

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

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
