almost 2 years out and feel i cant eat

[Justalfe 0]

Im getting close to my two year anniversary , and lately I just feel like i cant eat absolutely anything, whats odd about this that it comes and goes, does this happen to anyone else?

one year out and I too have days of not wanting to eat - nothing appeals to me - the next day I eat normally.

I am grateful for this as I don't want to gain any weight - I need to loose 20lbs more and stepping up the game right now.

Wow, I thought I was the only one that experienced this feeling. Some days, I feel so much restriction and can't eat but a few bites. However, other days I can eat about 2/3 cup of food. I am glad I still have this restriction because at times I feel I am stretching my sleeve.

18 mos out and I got mad restriction, someday I can eat like crazy and other days I don't touch no food but drink. I have been in maintenance by 9 mos so you are good

Are you maintaining or losing?

3+ years out here and have the exact same feelings. sometimes i amaze myself with the tiny amounts i eat, but then there are days i really amaze myself with the large amount that i can fit in there. But it's not bad, at least i haven't gained anything over the holidays. now i'm trying to loose that last 20 lbs. . . talk about work

Is it that you don't want to eat or that you feel discomfort?

I still don't feel hunger at more than two years out (and pregnant) so I can relate to that. I can still easily skip a meal without intending to do so. But I enjoy food and I like eating when I do eat. It's no longer a chore to me - I feel like I have a more normal, healthy relationship with food. Whenever I get the idea that I'm eating too much food I track and realize that I'm still eating a very limited diet compared to a person with no sleeve.

As for quantity, yes, I still sometimes feel as though I can't possibly eat enough food. On a very lucky day I can fit over a cup of food but most of the time I'm limited to 1/2 to 1 cup of food, and that's only if it's not a meal comprised solely of dense Protein. Or Pasta...or rice...or bread, because those foods still fill me up after a few bites! But if I allowed myself to compare what I'm eating to what the people around me eat, I would probably feel that I'm hardly eating at all.

What's important is that I'm eating enough. Between regular meals, Snacks and supplementing with a shake I am still able to eat a reasonable diet and I'm healthy. Before my pregnancy I maintained my weight pretty effortlessly and wasn't struggling either to gain or losing.

So I'd ask the OP to share a bit more so that we can see if this is something that needs a doctor's help (such as physical discomfort eating this far out) or if it's something normal that a lot of us experience.

ive been maintaing at 155 for over a year now..i can eat anything and not gain a pound...but yeah i just wanted to see what some of you had to say about this issue. I guess sometimes I just want to feel semi-normal when it comes to eating =D

Is that a bad thing?

I'm almost two years out and I'm always hungry.

I'm 18 months out and feel the same way. I reached goal in April and maintained within a 2lb up or down range for 8 months. But something happened in December. It seemed like I could eat anything and everything with no restriction. And what I thought was real hunger. Woke up on Jan 1 with the scale up 11.4 lbs.

Got back to basics and in 4 days lost 8 of the 11.4 (assume most of it was Water weight)

The lesson learned reinforces that this is a lifelong journey and I have to be dilligent with what I put into my mouth every day for the rest of my life...

Actually it's a small sacrifice for my health (and looking amazing!)

Its not a bad thing I just wish I was consistent....
