Less Restriction And Panicked Over Hunger :(



Recommended Posts

I am frustrated today. After a complete unfill on Jan.1 due to a dilated pouch, I got a fill a week ago back to 7cc's, which is how much I had before my problem. I feel as if I have no/very minimal restriction and have such a desire to eat. After being very tight (too tight), I hate that I am hungry and can eat whatever I want. I don't, but I am struggling with Portion Control and the ability to have all the foods that were easy to avoid because I "couldn't"- namely Pasta and bread. I have been still packing my Breakfast and lunch and doing great there. I have been portion controlling my dinner, but at night I want to munch. I know the "pat" answers- eat healthy foods, take a walk, stay out of the kitchen, etc., but that still didn't stop me from the extra bites at dinner and the TWO breadsticks at dinner tonight. A bite of bread used to be the biggest treat. Ashamed of myself. I know better. I have not gained since the unfill, and don't expect to lose until I have proper restriction again- but just trying to maintain my weight loss is taking sooooooo much work. So many questions- What is real hunger? What is head hunger? Will I gain if I eat "normally" because I hadn't been eating from Thanksgiving to New Years? I have worked so hard to get here, and I loved being restricted. Being back to "dieting" stinks!!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
