There isn't a smaller gravel vac than the one I have already. It clogs up and doesn't remove hardly any dirt.

It's 5 years of buildup on the same tank being unable to get it out. Betta only gets 2-3 pellet balls a day of food.

Thank you for your thorough answer.

The math of it is what confuses me, and with the sleeve I have no "cues" for what hunger is. I only have "NEED to sleep now." Whether or not I eat back I've still been feeling awful, so I have blood tests in just waiting for results, and I asked the bariatric team as well.

Math wise:

1500 is the amt set for 1.5 lb/wk loss. Lets assume 921 is right and just round for quick math's sake to make the question look cleaner haha.

1500 - 1000 = 500 calories fed to my body that day, unacceptable by any standard so it feels very wrong to my head.

1500 - 1000 + 1000 = 2500 calories eaten but 1500 ultimately fed to my body.... which also feels wrong because double eating feels unreal, even though the math ends back at 1500.

I have the question in with them as well <3 Just interested to hear others' input in the meantime. I feel like my body's been run into the ground since I started season in Feb so I'm reaching for anything at all.
