I am now at 10.5 mths and although for me things have improved almost 100% (had issues for the first 5 mths) I still feel my journey is not what I was expecting. When did people realise they could eat more??? I still have days where I want to eat but end up eating like a bird!!! I still don't feel I eat like a 'normal' person - never feel satisfied....

Does one get to the stage where they can eat and not feel uncomfortable, some days even eating 2 pieces of sliced turkey and a cheese stick is enough.

How long does it take for you to notice that your stomach has relaxed??

Thanks to all for their advice...

Ps Reflux - I never get heartburn or indigestion but the lump in my throat but seems to settle when I eat, anyone else find this???

Everyone has a different experience. By not feeling satisfied, do you mean you are still actually hungry, or that the food doesn't give you head pleasure? or what? Some have acid that makes them feel hungry...what were your problem for the first 5 months? Perhaps your stomach is very small... have you lost too much weight? If you are below goal, then its time to get to the doctors for a checkup... if you are still in the losing has, I would feel less discouraged and just keep going...many at 10 months feel more hunger and have a harder time losing after that. Because you are under a year I am going to move your thread to General, but when you are out 12 months or further, please come back here to the Vetrens forum. Veteran can still see and respond your site on the general forum. Best of luck!
