To person who posted Hi guys!!!??
There is a problem with replying to your post, so I am answering here.
At 12 years old, I no longer get any feeling of being full. I can eat as much as before surgery and never feel full. So I have to measure and track my food to keep from gaining.
The feeling of restriction was very strong the first few years, but got less every year.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I am 2 years out and although I still have restriction it is nowhere near like it was just a few months ago ! Kinda scary, so I too weigh and measure. Eyeballing it gained me 10 lbs about 2 to 3 weeks ago and I sit just under 170 now, which is the highest I want to be. If you would have told me a year ago that my pouch would relax this much I would not have believed it.
