So good to hear from you. I have a friend whose siblings have sleeve and she says a few years later there is less restriction. I currently have a lapband and considering switching. How us your. Restriction

I will be 3 years next month. I can definitely eat more than I could the first year, but no where near like before surgery. Protein still fills me up quickly. Where it used to be 3-4 ounces, I am more 5-7 ounces, depending on the meat. I don't think I could eat a whole hamburger if I tried. I can do a McD kid burger, but no room for anything else. Hope that helps.

I was fortunate enough to get a 28F (that is really small) Today at 3 years out I can still not eat more 6oz of food at a time. If I eat only Protein, that's even less. I can eat whatever, of course, but only very small amounts still. For example I could eat a whole (small) Breakfast taco, but then i feel uncomfortable, so I eat about 3/4 of it and am fine. I can only eat 1 egg and 1 1/2 slices of bacon. I can only eat about 6 grapes. I still slime everytime i overdo it, and when i eat a bit too much, i sneeze like crazy

My restriction is fabulous. I am maintaining my weight between 210 and 215lbs. My doctors goal weight for me was 212. I don't have a problem "watching" my intake at all, although i've heard of people gaining a lot of weight back despite the sleeve (go figure)

hope this helps

Oh and by the way i started off pre-surgery 360lbs and lost 150 lbs within 1 year.

You guys so rock! What kind of foods do you eat? If you don't mind me asking. I so miss the tickers we use to have until they were deleted on our sites.........

[thinoneday 445]

I literally eat and drink everything. There is nothing i don't have BUT all is in moderation, and that my friend is the key to success.

Same here.

The one thing I do avoid is salad. Lots of filling, but very little nutrients for the volume it takes up. It makes me laugh the the "diet food" is the one I don't have. LOL!

You are so awesome. I have to assure my friends who are loosing nothing on lapband that sleeve really wirks
