Maybe this is a stupid question. But what exactly does restriction feel like? Like I have stick episodes and I can feel when it clears or when it slims and I have to burp it up, but I don't get what the restriction is supposed to feel like? Unless that is it?

I need to hear success stories from people like me

Everything you have said, is me. My doctor has diagnosed me with depression anxiety binge eating diaorder. Well I started a new drug called vyvanse. Oh my god it works great. I feel so in control and it's so easy to say no to food. -
Okay so I just had a fill yesterday and I'm at 6 ccs in a 10 cc band. Well I made some grilled chicken. And I have taken super tiny bites and chewing all the way and it's still getting stuck. Plus I wait almost 2 minutes in between each bite. What am I doing wrong??

Here is my new diet. Every morning I have one cup of coffee with two table spoons of half and half and 4 teaspoons of splenda. I eat one large scrambled egg with half a tablespoon of butter to cook them in. Plus 2 Oz of sausage. I also take 4 Bariatric vitamins throughout the day and emergen c everyday. For morning snack I have a protein shake. For lunch I have a protein shake and for dinner I have about 2-3 ounces of grilled chicken and about half a cup of veggies. If I'm still hungry before bed I have another protein shake. My carbs stay below 50 and my calories stay below 1300. I am starting a gym next month and also starting an aerobic swimming class 3 times a week. I will also get on the weight lose medication qsymia. How quickly do you think I'll lose weight successfully? Also I only drink water throughout the day. Help please. ...

I need some Help and advice without getting Judged.... ON January 2kt I tried to kill myself. I overdosed on 120 different anti-depressants, muscle relaxers and sleeping pills.... My oxygen went to 50% by the time the ems got there. I was in a coma for six days. They had to pump my stomach 4 times with Charcoal. since I was released, after having aspiration pneumonia, and respiratory failure, which IM Still in so no exercise for me for 3-6 Months. I cant even shower without having to stop because I cant breathe.... well my question is, I think all those pills and having my Stomach pumped has fucked up my lap band. I was hoping to die but since I lived, I need to get back on track and start losing weight so I'm not so depressed... How do I start over and fix my band?

Hello. My name is kelly. I needed a little bit of advice. You see, I am 19 years old and got banded in august of 2014. Well i cheated from the very begginning. I ate mcdonalds two days after surgery. I havent gone back to see my doctor. I kind of just never showed up to my appts for my fills and stuff. I am able to eat as much as i could before surgery. Like for instance, not too long ago I ate taco bell nachos, two burritos, and a crunch wrap and could probably fit a little more if i really wanted to. Its no problem. But I am ready to get back on track and do things how i am supposed to and lose this weight. No more excuses. It is all my decision and if i cheat its not because its hard it is because i chose to do it. Now I am choosing to lose this weight. I just need a little help. I don't have any stomach pain. Does that mean that my band is fine? no dilation no slippage nothing like that? If so, should I go on a liquid diet for a week, then soft foods, then regular foods. start over with the basics before i call my doctor and go get a fill done? What should I do?? Please help. I have been so lost and havent even been acting like a banded pt. I think I am ready now. I need help getting back to basics because i think i weigh more now then i did before surgery P.S. I have tons of Protein shakes that i get in the mail every month that my insurance pays for, do think that I should be on that for a week?

Okay I had surgery on the 4th. I started back at work as a cna the very next day. I am having no pain whatsoever. Well I have been on protein shakes and water and tomato soup since surgery. Well today i had a break down. I hate a meal from mcdonalds. Chicken nuggets, french fries, and a coke. Tonight I had potato soup, and turtle ice cream, and potato chips. I dont know what happened. Its my first birthday that my grandmother and grandfather arent with me. Gramma died a few months ago. I just took it really hard... I will be going back to my liquids tomorrow. I hope it didn't mess anything up. Do yall think i messed anything up?? I was able to eat slowly and no stuckage or too full feeling. Will i still lose weight if i go back to how i am supposed to be doing?? help me please...
