I was sleeved 1/9 and I can eat more than normal...I cannot eat breads at all but I agree this is stupid and.I don't know if it was worth it...I do the protein shakes and stuff still and I'm hungry if I don't eat every 3 hrs. Granted I don't eat the amount I use too. I started at 238 and now 223 so I haven't lost nearly as much as anyone else I have heard....maybe I should join the no weightloss forum ....hang in there your not alone!
