Help, I have lost ALL my restriction



Recommended Posts

I was banded Oct. 14, 2010 and have lost 25 lbs and had 2 fills. Was getting good restriction until last week and all of a sudden I have none........what happened? I go in Monday to get a fill.......can they do an x-ray or something? I have NO restriction whatsoever......I could eat a horse. I feel like something has gone wrong. Has anyone had this happen? I used to feel full after my 1/2 cup and now I could eat 2 cups if I wanted. Last time I had a fill I could not stop PBing and getting stuck so they took out 1/2 cc and now I have none. I am so confused and lost about getting this right. I have also been stuck at 25 lbs for over a month now. Thanks........Pat

You may not get an answer until you see your doc. We would just be guessing as to what is going on. Keeping fingers crosses that all is well.

Possibly what has happened is that the 25lbs you lost wasn't all on the outside, some of it was fat lost around your stomach too. Your stomach gets smaller, your band gets looser, you loose some of the appetite dimming.

It's possible they could do an xray, but that depends on whether your doctor thinks you need one. My doctor doesn't use fluoroscopy, he'd have to send me over to the hospital to get it done. If it was needed, ok, but I don't want to have the extra radiation.

Hope they can give you some answers on Monday.

      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.
