You have experienced both. Do you feel a difference?

I also feel much less restriction, and that is part of my worry.

IMHO don't chase restriction or fullness. Please set up systems like an exercise routine & sustainable healthy diet (well within your Surgeon's caloric/macro limits) and live it. If you can't do it long term it probably won't work for you.

I have an excercise routine the same one ive been doing the last 3 years, Ive been following a diet for the last 3 years, so obviously I can, but thanks. My comment was about feeling different and how that might affect me. Thanks for your help.

I understand.

I was suggesting that mentally its going to be challenging (but not impossible)since you already experience the shift from greater to lesser restriction & now that the training wheels of restriction is gone, you may have to move forward to another form of structure to continue being successful

very best luck to you ❤

Guess measuring and weighing food will be my guide with the revision if I lose this restriction I have.

Christina,

I am in the exact same position. I literally had to get a sedative from my doctor yesterday because I too am so afraid. I just want my hiatel hernia and reflux fixed. I’ve successfully lost 40 lbs (75 to go) on my own...but I have to do this for the same reasons as you. Please reach out to me as we can benefit from one another I think. Good luck
