Clarity on restriction???

[candy rain 0]

I know this question has been asked b4 but i just wondered if u could clear something up 4 me...

You know wen your like 4 days post opp and you can only get down half a cup of tea and a few bites of food, is this restriction???

because i am having issues with food getting stuck but am not really feeling full and am getting hungry often and am gaining bk the weight lost! and its doin my head in

Is this restriction? not really being able to eat very much at all?

I figured if im eating enough to gain weight then surely im not restricted??? only had a fill 9 days ago...

The stuck feeling isn't restriction. The feeling of being satisfied (no longer hungry) with smaller amounts is.

I think you need to change your eating habbits. The band only does a bit of the work, the rest is up to you.

Good luck to you!

Restriction is the feeling of being satisfied between meals. If your getting stuck....chew chew chew. I really had to teach myself to slow down my eating habits in the beginning. I used baby silverware so I would take smaller bites. You also may still be swollen from surgery.

Best of Luck!
