Thinner Peace 24 Posted July 2, 2012 I have yet to feel any restriction. My surgeon was surprised because he was worried he made my sleeve too small. He said I would feel the restriction once I moved on to dense food. Well yesterday I had 2 ounces of chicken and cucumber and Tomato salad. Nothing. COuld my pyloric valve not be working, i.e. it is too loose? The other concern is that I have been getting light headed, mostly when I stand up. Everything turns black, my head is fuzzy and warm and today my hands were tingling. Should I be concerned? My surgeon said being light headed is normal but I do not want to faint.

ashleyxx 277 Posted July 2, 2012 Im not sure how far out you are, but you should be feeling something especially if you are eating dense Protein. Maybe you are still swollen? I get the light headedness and blackness every now and then, the times I have had that happen I was low on fluids or calories, maybe thats why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie713 423 Posted July 2, 2012 I needed at least 4 oz or a little more to feel restriction. The 1/2 cup measure seemed to fit the bill - and it is a feeling of pressure, it can get uncomfortable quickly. Later, it is my understanding that we can hold up to 1 cup of food. If you are tall, perhaps the length of your new stomach allows for a bit more. Try 4 or possibly 6 ounces and see if you feel restriction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
