How long does the restriction period last?I’m 2 months out and afraid the restriction won’t last long. I follow my The plan was advised. When did you start feeling like your restriction was not as effective as when you first had surgery.

I’m only 11 months out & I’d say it’s still in effect about 95% of the time. Sometimes I forget & push it a bit too much (eat too quickly, try that extra bite) but it’s not pleasant.
Keep to your plan. Go slowly. Good luck ?

I still feel restriction at the 14-month mark. I can definitely eat more now than I could during the first six months or so, but not nearly as much as I could before surgery. I occasionally eat to the point of discomfort at this point.

I’m over 2 years out and my restriction has lessened but is certainly still in place.

10 Months and still full restricted eat very little

I'm 2 years out. I can eat more than I could at the beginning. I'd say about 1 cup on average, sometimes more depending on the density of the food. I still have "restriction" in the sense that #1-my portion sizes are certainly limited and #2-if I go beyond my limit I am uncomfortable.

almost five years out. I can still feel it, but I can eat much more than I could the first few months after surgery. As an example, before surgery, my husband and I used to split a large pizza. I could eat half of it, no problem. Now two pieces is about all I can handle. Also, at a Mexican restaurant, I can handle two of those small authentic tacos (with the 4" or 6" tortillas with just meat, onions, and cilantro on them). I used to be able to eat a burrito with sides of beans and rice. I wouldn't be able to eat all that anymore.

Hope that gives you some idea..

Good to know. Thank you for your responses.

8 months out and still feel restriction some days I have to remind myself to take small bites still...
