so there are days where my restriction is real lol i could barely eat a full cheese stick some days but today i had two tacos and felt okay i'm not sure if it's because of my menstrual cycle coming soon that my hunger is getting the best of me? I'm just curious if any of you have experienced this. for dinner yesterday i had a salad and was barely able to finish the whole thing mind you it was a side salad. i don't want this to become my norm and i start stretching my pouch out. any opinions? comments? i'll be 2months post op on the 18th.

It depends on what I eat. Some meals (protein heavy) I can be full after a few bites while others it takes much more. This can vary by the day too.

I would measure your food out using a scale if you are worried about eating to large a portion. I weight out 4oz and then I know exactly how much I am eating. If it is a dense Protein I can't always eat all of it and that's fine. I just re weigh the plate and I know how much I ate.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
