I am almost 2 years out, but just this week my restriction is super tight or I think that is what it is, I can bearly get in 1/4 cup and Im only eating protein, liquids have stayed the same, but even after eating my 1/4 cup I belch forever, Prilosec does seem to help, I just was wondering if this happens and how long it will last, I have lost another 4 lbs in the passed 5 days, and Im starting to worry, Should I be?

     I'm Still a work in progress, I wont give up the quest to reclaim my life, I will be whole again someday!

My restriction really changes from week to week. You might give your surgeon a visit if you keep having issues over the next week or so, though. Mine is tied to my monthly cycle too.

I call these 'tiny tummy days'.

If you've passed your comfort level in weight loss, concentrate on adding calories by type of food rather than volume. A little peanut butter, nuts or avacado adds plenty of calories in a small package!
