I'm in the same boat scale wise. I'm going to decrease the volume of food I eat...going back to eating portions the size of a 2 year old or less. Pushing away from the table more and increasing the plain old water I drink.

How is your over all restriction? How many ounces do you need to eat in a setting to accomplish the full sensation? How long do you stay full? Do you think your malabsorption has been minimized over time?

All things DS equal ? you should be able to easily minimize your intake and maintain or reduce your weight, right ? ??????????

Are you still at goal weight?

I think the malabsorption is changing but I don't know based on my labs what I may be malabsorbing less. So, I'm not having to adjust my vitamins to a great extent. Restriction still works if I slow down and stop wolfing food down. I should be able minimize my intake...key word is "should". I've been gaining since I went to work at my new job where I can't get outside to walk every hour. I'm somewhere between 125 and 128, but my shape is changing from sitting too much.
