July 2014 Surgeries

It's strange how restriction works. Recently my pouch has been feeling tighter than it did immediately after surgery. While I'm losing weight faster I'm not sure if this is entirely good (losing about 8kg/month). (Note: I had two stage surgery in July and December and the pouch since December).

How can you feel your pouch? I can honestly say, I've had mine a year now, I've never 'felt' it.
 
Sometimes in the morning there's a certain feeling that I associate with the pouch. Also when eating there's a sensation which stops me eating after a few bites or it gets painful.

I've always been able to eat LOADS more than you girls (maybe as I'm a Sleeve and you are bypassers).

Although my restriction IS good! I just tend to graze instead of meals.

That being said, our losses are pretty much the same (I'm just a bit slower at losing) lol

I cannot believe I've got from a starting weight of 30st 3lbs to now weighing 17st 9lbs, this is just mental to me!! Ive nearly halved in 10 months.

Good luck for your appointment. Be completely honest with them, I am sure so many people have the same. They are sure to give you some ideas to kick start it.

Now tell me if I am mad but I don't want to be smaller than a size 14 - mainly because at a 16-18 I am happy but just want another 2st off. I think if I go beyond that the skin will get really bad and I will then be unhappy again - does that make sense?? So I'm now at te point I think at my year check up I will be asking how to maintain. Has anyone ever done this? Is it possible to stop your body from becoming too small x
