I AM THREE WEEKS OUT AN UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT GETTING JUST AN OUNCE DOWN. IT TAKES ME SO LONG TO GET PREED FOODS DOWN IT'S TIME FOR THE NEXT MEAL ! THE STRANGE THING IS I NEVER SEEM HUNGRY SO I DON'T TRY UNTIL I DO AND IT GOES ON AND ON.... I THINK I'LL JUST KEEP SHAKES HANDY !

3 mos out here and 1 egg still puts me right to the edge lol. but hey thats the point....i noticed mostly for me my body gets colder much more easily now. used to be i couldnt live with the a/c above 69...now i am freezing at 74. at least my electric will get better now, but i tend to carry a sweater everywhere lol. getting fluids is my downfall. i wonder if that struggle will ever get easier...hard to keep drinking when you are so full all the time and not thirsty. GL 2 u all

I am a week and a half away from having surgery, and I can't wait for restriction! I was supposed to have surgery in November, but I got a blood clot in my leg -- postponing it for 6 more months. It has been so hard to be consistent in eating well, with the set-backs. It is encouraging to me to hear that the tool does help with fullness and restraint. Have any of you had much experience with vomiting since surgery? Or have you mastered the "edge" fairly quickly to avoid it?

OMG, me too! I freeze all the time - interspersed with what I can only describe as hot flashes. I can get maybe one half of an egg white down (poached) and the pouch warns me it has had enough. I have read so many posts where people say they can eat whatever they want without the feeling of restriction. I guess we are kinda lucky, right?

I think it takes a few times of feeling overly full to gauge where you need to stop eating. I have slowed way down on how long I take to eat the puréed foods so that I can give my body time to register that it is full before taking the "one too many" bite. Hope that makes sense. Plus, I have always dreaded vomiting in general and don't want to pop a staple!
