Feel the restriction ?
I had my vsg on 2/19/2015 and Ibam always full. I barely eat and when I do Im only able to get in about two tablespoons, and at that point I sometimes feel over stuffed. In my case I was never able to feel full before being sleeved, but immidiately after surgery that changed for me, and now im never hungry. Ive been told on this site that you are supposed to be measuring your portions in order to prevent over eating.
I felt full immediately. Could only eat 1 ounce for a while. Then after about a month I could eat 2 ounces. Its been that way up until about a couple weeks ago ( I am 16 weeks post op) and I think I can eat a little over 2 ounces but I try to keep it at 2 so I don't overeat. If I try to eat too much it backs up in my throat and feels like it will come back up if I keep going.
I forgot when I first noticed the feeling of fullness, in the beginning since you're still healing you might not get that full feeling till much later, but when it kicks in, wow, & if you do too much it won't feel good at all.
I try to practice under eating my sleeve. I eat till I'm satisfied or whatever I weighed out for my meal., but I don't pu**** Eating till I feel full is an indicator that I went overboard.
