Stuck For The First Time!



Recommended Posts

WOW, that hurt! I have not felt that before! Just had my third fill last Friday and never had restriction. Now I do and holy cow what a difference! Was eating a piece of blueberry muffin for Breakfast and bam, felt like someone was stabbing me in the back. Hurt like h€{{! Should I do liquids? Still fell it a little!

Your Blueberry muffins in the AM days may be over. drink Water if it goes down lucky you , are you sliming ...if so go to the bathroom lean way over and it should slide out if not drink some water and repeat process of leaning over, Now that you are feeling restriction chew chew chew . Things like muffins are probably not on your plan at this point PROTIN FIRST....... Bands are usually tighter in the morning......Good Luck let this be a learning experience...

Actually, it doesn't mean you can't have bread anymore. I have great restriction and still eat things like bread, rice, and Pasta daily. I just take very small bites, chew it until mush, and pause between bites.

With that said, I don't attempt bread in the mornings. I am way too tight when I first wake up. However by lunch time I am fine to eat whatever I want.

Good Luck!

Why Protein first?

Protein fills you up and lasts longer. I can't eat bread toasted or otherwise . Take it slow eat small bites and pause between each bite. When you feel the restriction stop eating don't force it. Good luck I have had my band for a while now n am at 5 ccs in a 10 cc band. Feel good n losing again after a long stint of gaining :(. Good luck to you! I Am down 70 since the beginning n want to lose 75 more n keep it off!

Trying keeping a box of Protein bars at your place of work. Check the calories. But they do help with the hunger. Look for the Protein count as it is the protein that keeps you full.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
