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!!!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
