Any February 2014 Sleevers?

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.

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.

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.

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"? Lol

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.

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.

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
