Varing Restriction During A Single Meal?
Sabrinaaa posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Has anyone ever noticed that during a single meal, they have variations in their restriction? For the first 20-30 minutes of a meal, I have very tight restriction, and after that, I am able to eat much easier? Ive read where some have tighter restriction in the mornings, but never the type of variation I have! -
hi trish,
i just ready your post about not being able to drink during meals, cuz it hurts. This is the type of restriction Im looking for despite others explaining different types of restriction. Would you explain to me what your restriction is like? ie how much you can eat, how long your full, and any other tips. I already have 8.5ccs in my band and can pretty much eat as much as I want. I dont eat until full, but tested my limits the other day to see just how much I could eat and it was well over 1 1/2c to 2cups. Thanks, Sabrina

I have 2 small children, one in school and one at home, and have been finding it very difficult to get my exercise in. Does anyone have suggestions? Also, rainy day suggestions? It doesnt rain here much in Los Angeles, but just as I have determined I need to get exercise in just to lose a pound or two, its been consistently rainy.

Hi Betsy, To get that 80g of protein on the 800-900 calorie restriction, I find to be very difficult. How do you pack the punch? I love the low carb/high Protein shakes, but trying to avoid them for more filling Proteins, since I dont have good restriction yet, so how could I get the protein in? Also, have you recently changed your pic? Wow you look great! Congrats!

Did I get ahead of myself when I bought these clothes?

For me its been reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllll slow going. Ive been struggling with the 1st 6lbs lost for 2 months. I have realized that I need to do a real "diet" just like before the band until I get restriction. That seems to be the only way to go, until restriction does its part. So, if your slow going like me, follow the recommendations of your doctor to a "T" and exercise it up, and youll be there in no time. -
I mean, is it really that precise?!@@#$%^&
Sabrinaaa replied to Sabrinaaa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Samd Your right, I havent been consistently exercising yet, I was trying to lose without exercise and then use exercise when I stopped loosing, but it looks like the only alternative I have at this time. Ill give it a try starting tomorrow and update in 1week. Please share more about the sweet spot being lower. I do have restriction, but today out of curiosity, I decided I would eat until I felt full, not unconfortably full though. I think I was able to eat 1 1/2 - 2 cups and by my calculation thats WAY too much. Would you agree that Im not at my sweet spot? -

I origninally started with a low bmi and a "lower" weight than the most @ 185 and cant belive how difficult this has been. I lost 6lbs from the Fluid diet and now have been yo-yo'ing up and down with the last 3lbs. I am following the strict diet, but cant imagine how precise this science is, I mean one extra item on any particular day (ie 1 cookie) will add a pound. How many of you have the same experience with having to precisely count every single calorie to see any loss at all? If so, what range of calories produces loss for you? Ps. I already have 8.5cc's and seems not to have phased me as far as sweet spot or restriction. I have never eaten to be full, but feel like no matter what I would eat, fullness would not be found. -
Hi, Ive recently run across your post about being in the green zone and was wondering how your doing? I currently have 8.5cc in my band, and could eat alot as well, plus mildly hungry. What is your current fill? Im concerned that Im going to be filled all the way and not have restriction. Please share! Thanks, Sabrina

Why couldn't YOU lose weight without the lap band?
Sabrinaaa replied to amberakamom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is what it is like for me: I have 8.5cc in my band and still have not gotten to my sweet spot, but it has helped reduce hunger and feel "satisfied" earlier. I dont ever eat until full, because thats what the rules are with the band, but I am satisfied and can get up from the table without thinking of food! What you'll have to do even with the band: 1) still have to restrain from junk food (which is a battle for me) 2) still have to restrict calories 3) still have to eat Protein and green carbs 4) still have to exercise -
Question about Restriction
Sabrinaaa replied to DenverDrew's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am at 8.5 and still dont have restriction or sweet spot. The only thing I do have is difficulty getting some things down, but I can eat over 1cup and still have plenty of room. I am thinking that the sweet spot is where you can only eat a couple of spoons and feel full, but everyone says their sweet spot means something different. I am not sure where you started, but I started @ 185lb and below 35bmi, and my doctor says that since our stomach is smaller than those who are well over weight, it takes longer to reach restriction. Im not sure, just my experience. -
August Rush in bandland!
Sabrinaaa replied to AmberK's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi All, I am new to the thread. I was banded on Aug. 18th and started out at 185. I have been up and down with only 5lbs loss, so dont feel bad those of you who have gained some back. I had my first fill of 6cc's at 6 weeks out, have a little restriction, but can still eat way too much. Ive been told its all about restriction, we'll see. Sabrina -
I licked the butter off the knife! WTF!?
Sabrinaaa replied to candy rain's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow! Its good to see the honesty with the small cheats, but I do it all the time, just not with excess, and yes, we are all ahead of the game with the band, considering it wasnt just a few licks of pb that got us here! Where do you get the PB2, Ive never heard of it. Is it high fat? Im super interested! Sabrina
