Restriction, my friend? You ROCK!

[JoiaRox 430]

KUDOS to Ms. LB! After Saturday's fill, I finally have restriction! It's bizarre...

SUNDAY (breakfast) - couldn't finish the eggs and cheese I made (read last post)

SUNDAY (lunch) - bought a footlong Subway sandwich...took 15 minutes to get a quarter of it down, and it was rough

SUNDAY (dinner) - ate two bites of ravioli (whole ones) and immediately threw them up. Learned the art of "small bites" and "chew chew chew" in order to get dinner down

MONDAY (breakfast) - yogurt & Vitamins

MONDAY (lunch) - more Subway...rough going down again

MONDAY (snack) - Chex Mix, eaten VERY slow

MONDAY (dinner) - 2% Fat Free Velveeta Shells & cheese

The weirdest experience that I've endured over the past couple days...I'M NOT HUNGRY! EVER! I was just telling my boyfriend that I eat because I look at the clock and realize, "Hey, it's lunch time." I realize that I don't have to eat according to a clock, but if I don't eat at given points of the day, I'd never consume anything! As it is, I'm under 1,000 calories today and still not hungry. I'd been eating roughly 1,300-1,400 a day in order to lose weight...and now I can't even get that much in! To Ms. LB (my band)...you effin' rock for FINALLY doing what the doctors said you would do. I'm okay with you having a hard time with Subway bread, and rejecting the first two, large bites of ravioli...you and I can learn to coexist for the betterment of ME.

I have another fill appointment on the 18th - not sure if I'll get a little, tiny adjustment or not. At only 2 days post-fill, it's too soon to tell if this restriction will stick around...but I'm definitely lovin' it! :thumbup:

I'm looking forward to having good restriction. I've had two fills in the past two weeks and am having another one this week. Hopefully this will be the one! Because yesterday I was starving all day....

I'm with you all! Restriction feels glorious! I had my first fill yesterday (5ccs) and am on liquids for the next day & a half and then mushies for 2 days. I am so amazed at how liquid is keeping me satisifed!

I had my first fill Monday and the doc only put in 1cc in a 10cc band. I was told to go on liquids for 48 hrs, then gradually start with mushies again. I'm surprised you're already eating food. Good luck!

My doc will only add 1cc at a time every 4 weeks. I hope I don't struggle with hunger for much longer.

That is so exciting!

Thank you for sharing because I know that

I'm not the only one on the boards who thinks,

"When's this thing gonna KICK in?"

I'm so surprised you ate bread and didn't get stuck!

You said you had a hard time,

but for many, bread is a demon.

I wish you continued success!
