Increased Restriction

[tzepeda 29]

I Thought once before I read something about your restriction increasing after 1st month. I'm about 4 weeks out and last two days have been much harder to eat then any other time. I understand dense food but I was eating the same way all last week with way less problems.

Anyone have this?

For me, after 8 months, my restriction changes. Some days I am a bottomless pit and others I can barely eat. I think it has to do with my hormones. The physical restriction is part of it, but I think that there is a mental component as well. I also find the restriction increases throughout the day. I have some personal theories...that a day or two of over indulging stretches things a bit and a day or 2 of back to basic decreases my appetite and increases satiety. For instance over the holidays I ate and ate...by comparison to a year ago, I barely ate but for post sleeve me...I just kept shoving bites in. Now I have been on a mental cleanse, drinking shakes and going back to the basics. I now feel full so much faster and stay satiated for hours. I can't really explain it. But variation for me has become the norm.

At 5 months it seemed my restriction increased. Doc said it was the nerves healing and I could now really tell if I was taking in too much. That's why he wants us to religiously weigh/measure our food for the first 6 months.
