Its not an appetite supressant…You’re hungry. But when you eat just a little bit you get really really full. Like so full you cant take another bite.
Now, if you wolf down the food so fast you may miss the feeling full and then the infamous vomiting can begin, or if you decide to take another bite anyway even though youre so so full, again, you may vomit.
But if you follow directions, eat at a normal pace and stop when you just cant swallow another bite, you’ll be fine.
Where I used to eat 3 slices of pizza and still be hungry, I now enjoy half a slice and I can go hours without thinking about food again.
The surgeon has a nutritionist on staff who gives you an outline and is avail for questions but really, if im doing well and then I eat a cookie, its ok because its one cookie not a whole box.
I can eat anything but very small amounts. There are those who say they cant tolerate veggies or fruit and thats when all the naysayers jump up and scream “OMG!!! cant eat fruits and veggies!!!!bad bad bad”
Trust me, none of us got this big from eating veggies, so everyone calm down. In either case, I do eat fruits and veggies, I just share them with my kids cause I cant down a whole banana on my own..
Just want to throw in there that Davening is really important, after all Hashem is really the one running the show.
Mske sure the Dr you use has adequate post op help, I left my original surgeon because it would take 6-8 weeks to get an appt. Unacceptable! ask the receptionist when the next fill appt is (even before you have the procedure) if she says its more than 2 weeks away leave and find someone else. Im serious.
Good luck
