Why I don’t feel the restriction like I used to?



Recommended Posts

It’s been six weeks since I had my surgery and I went from 279 down to 250. For the past three days, I have not felt a “restriction” or that full feeling. What’s going on? I haven’t stretched my pouch have I? Should I do a pouch reset since I’m not feeling full?

I doubt you've stretched your pouch. They aren't that easy to stretch - it would take constant overeating and probably way more than six weeks.

Lots of us have "small pouch days" and "big pouch days". Just stick to your plan and don't do a "pouch reset". Most dietitians don't recommend those AT ALL, and besides that, you're way too early out for that.

also, don't chase the "full" feeling. Sometimes you'll feel it, sometimes you won't. Just eat what you're supposed to eat. The feeling of restriction will come back. I don't always feel it, but if I eat something really dense like meat, I do.
