Eating More
Ok, I'm 13 months post-op and within the past week I've noticed that I'm not getting full as quick as I used to. Is this normal and what can I do to get back to not eating as much? I want to kill this before it becomes a problem. I have been eating things that I shouldn't have, but I'm restricting myself from sweets as of now. I refuse to go back to old habits of eating large amounts of food. Any suggestions?

I'll try tha****er has always been a problem for me but lately I have been getting some water in, which is good. I'll try a protein shake for breakfast and one for dinner. Can you elaborate more about the stomach acid?

I notice when my eating is off for a few days, going back to liquids/shakes helps tighten up my restriction.
Ok, I do have a PPI to take. I've been doing some research and I appear to be having the same symptoms. I get the gurgling sound in my stomach a lot, matter of fact it's gurgling now, didn't know that's what it was. Thanks for the help!

Everyone is different, but I'm 21+ months out now and I can eat 600-800 calories easily as long as I stick with the program. I can also eat 2500 calories if I really put my mind to it. LOL!
For ME, the key is carbs. Carbs make my cravings kick in. I try to stay under 40 carbs. The first few days are killer, but after that, I don't even care and can forget to eat LOL.
Water - I have a rule with myself. I start out my day with a big cup of black coffee and a bottle of water. Kid to school, then another bottle of water, then breakfast. I don't allow myself breakfast until I have in those 6 cups (or 4). Then I drink another before I allow myself to have lunch. Then another one before my snack. Another before dinner. Another before I go to bed. Get into a habit and get into a rhythm. I'm kind of boring in that I eat the same basic stuff every day. But it works for me.
Don't get me wrong, I splurge now and then. I screw up now and then. The real test is getting back on the rails.
