Sarahjane79 397 Posted April 16, 2014 I feel like some days I have no restriction. Granted after eating the 4 oz I'm not hungry at all, but don't feel full. (I do feel satisfied) and some days I can't even eat 4oz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jencovi 261 Posted April 16, 2014 My restriction is really weird too. Some days I feel like two bites will make me bursts, and others I have no problem eating 6-8 oz and feeling satisfied. I notice it really depends on what I did for Breakfast. shake mornings I notice more restriction. Soft boiled egg and a bacon or avocado slice morning I have less. I guess it depends on how stretched it gets. Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperFab 689 Posted April 16, 2014 Thanks, April.. Good to know, I'm on psych meds, too, and wasn't aware of this. Another question for everyone- do you find your restriction is the same or does it feel like you can eat more as the weeks go by.? I feel like I can; worried about old habits creeping in. Yup. I could only eat 2 oz. then 3. Now if it's something like tuna I CAN eat 4 but I measure out 3. I use a food scale religiously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperFab 689 Posted April 16, 2014 Mine also loosens up throughout the day. At night I can eat the full 3 oz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glitter*In*The*Air* 35 Posted April 17, 2014 Do you guys find that you think you can eat more than you actually can? My doc wants us eating 4 oz now and I can only get in between 2.5-3 tops. I measure out 4 and then I measure what I have left over. I find myself wanting to eat more, but I just can't. You know that saying "my eyes are bigger than my stomach"?

MizNola 25 Posted April 17, 2014 Great progress, SJ! I'm going to get on the pictures, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jencovi 261 Posted April 17, 2014 I find that I can eat more than I did with the band and more than my nutritionist thought I could. But my surgeon isn't worried so neither is my nut. I am very comfortable and so so happy. I can eat a reasonable amount and still lose weight and keep my sugars stable. 1 SuperFab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cwang2680 79 Posted April 17, 2014 Really bad heartburn today. Hardly able to eat today. Very tired because not getting much. Finally got some Prilosec & trying to get some chicken in. Prilosec is the only one that works for. On a good note from highest weight Dow 43 lbs & down 34 lbs from surgery day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prilosec is the only one that works for. On a good note from highest weight Dow 43 lbs & down 34 lbs from surgery day. I've taken my ppi (protonix) since surgery. I had severed GERD so I was on it pre-surgery. My surgeon said not to go off of it Bc my heartburn will flare back up and stomach acid also gets confused for hunger pangs. Stay on Prilosec daily.
