Where did my restriction go?????



Recommended Posts

Seriously?? Ha dmy 3rd fill on February 5th (I've lost 6 pounds since the fill) and it was GREAT!!! I FINALLY had restriction, my intake was way down, I wasn't hungry for hours....all was right in my banded world! THEN I got a flu bug this week, not feeling so hot, got sick a few times, had a weird waking up in the middle of the night with the urge to throw up but nothing came up episode yesterday and today I can eat whatever.....not getting stuck at all, not feelings of tightness, no hiccups, NOTHING. Is this normal after 3 weeks with a good fill or could I have done something to the band while sick?? Have any of you had really good restriction and done well with it and then it just goes away.....overnight????

I don't know about it going away overnight but I didn't even notice it when it did. I had good restriction after my 2nd fill, everything was going along fine, then I stopped losing weight. One night I was eating and my husband goes "boy, that was easy for you" then I realized I had eaten my whole dinner in about 5 min. That is when I got my next fill. Maybe it was slacking off for you a little at a time and you didn't notice it until now?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
