Restriction Is Strange



Recommended Posts

Hi all

I have had my real restriction at my last filling 7cc out of 7 cc. in Every new day I feel restriction is reduced and I am not feeling the same as before but I feel satisfied for long time as before minimum 4 hours. Any explanation

The amount of restriction you will feel may vary from day to day; there are many contributing factors. Some have to do with your stress level - I often cannot drink Water while driving due to the level of stress I feel while driving. Others may be the time of day that it is - many have written that their band feels too tight in the morning to eat Breakfast, so they have a Protein shake instead of trying to eat.

Also, over time you tissues adjust to the level of restriction, and you may feel it less.

During the time that you have gradually increased your restriction with fills, you should have also been adjusting your eating patterns and lifestyle.

From what I know, eventually some additional willpower and healthier eating habits will need to assist you with maintaining your weight loss. Being only the tool that it is, you will need to continue to do your part with healthy portions and food choices, along with exercise to reach and stay at your goal weight.

I wonder if you have a possible leak.

Or you could just be getting used to restriction and not "feeling" it as much as you did in the beginning.

In the first tow days food and drink like bubbling down, but now they go down quicker. I am really worried about possible leakage specially because I didn't feel real restriction until my last fill. Yesterday I stopped eating myself andbthe band didn't slow me down, mybe because I was eating fat free food? I am not sure but what I am sure about is the food go thru very fast with normal chewing.

      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.
