Pouch Re-Setting???

OK... so I am almost 6 months out... down 85 pounds which is GREAT!! Over the past month I have noticed that I can eat more and a bigger variety of foods. That scared me a little but I wasn't gaining weight so I was OK with it. Well over the past few days it seems that my grouchy pouch has re-set... I am back to being only able to eat a tiny amount... like right after surgery... I can't even finish a whole container of yogurt without feeling like I ate a whole cow 1/2 way through it. I am just wondering if anyone else is having this problem as well. Not that I am complaining...I think its pretty cool and might start my weight loss back up if I have to go back to eating less. I can still take in all my liquids easily it just seems like my pouch shrunk back up?!?!?!?! Anna 09/06/05 265/255/180/138-140

For some reason I noticed the same thing. I get full from afew bites. I was telling my daughter that last night. I dont want to get sickly thin. I want meat on my bones. I have a sister that is anorexic. She is looking so old. and is a skeleton figure. I do not want that. I hope to god I stop losing at 150 Take Care Barb

But how do we stop? I keep saying the same thing.

I guess that is when we trurn to Carbs. Do you take iron ? I dont take that because my doctor said there is enough in the vitiams. and it can really mess someone up. I hope you feel better soon. Hugs bARB p>s. eVERYONES pictures look great. My computer keys are messed up it hurts to type

My surgeon's goal weight for me is 138 so I have a ways to go before I need to worry about how to stop losing. So THAT doesn't worry me right now.. I just find it so curious that I was able to eat so much more before and now I am back down to a couple bites and I am full.. sometimes uncomfortably slow. I use protein shakes so I am still getting all of my protein in and all of my water... I am just not getting in a whole lot of food. I was at about 1000-1200 calories a day and now I am back down to about 500-600 calories a day. Maybe it will get me out of this stall I have been in the whole month of February. I have been stuck in the 180s for quite some time and am SOOO ready to be in the 170s. I hope everyone else is doing well. Thanks for all your responses!! Anna

yep, same thing has happened to me about 10 or 12 times since surgery, and each time it lasts a couple or three days and then I start inching back up in calories. Actually it kinda feels good to be so empty and I-don't-know-what... and it does trigger a couple of pounds to drop off. Just kinda keeps my head on the change in me...not a bad thing. Pam

Anna, I am a late September person 9/27--- I hope this is true. I have just reached the part were I have stopped loosing weight at the rate I was a week or so ago. Something that everyone seems to have gone through. I am going to be disappointed if this tool is only going to last for 5 months. Now that I see everyone is back on track with not being so hungery. I can hardly wait. ... donna

I have noticed that it happens to me every once in a while. I wasn't sure why it happens

This also happens to me i can eat more and pretty much anything (with limits i put on myself) that i want then whamo right back to soup being the meal of choice because everything else seems to be too much. I dunno why but its fine with me. At first it was hard because i would throw up almost everyday when i had a week like that, now i know just to take it easy that week. Tammy O
