restriction Question



Recommended Posts

I too and interested in the answer to this question. I know when I am full, when it fills like if I eat another bite I will brust , wait that is over full I think! I have heard it is more pain than a feeling of fuliness.

Great Question Cindy!

I know in my opinion when I reached my sweet spot I just knew. I remember posting question after question asking but how will I know?? How long will it take?

It will come to the stage where food isnt constantly on your mind. You will eat a small amount of food and you will feel full rather quickly, it will also keep you satisfied for 4 hrs or so.

There are days when I will have a naughty day and eat chocolate, ice cream and lots of bad stuff. I think during these days that maybe my fill is disappating but then I get back onto the solid Proteins and realise that I still do have great restriction. No matter how much restriction you have you will always be able to easily eat chocolate and ice cream, remember that when you are working your way up to the sweet spot.

Good Luck

So the lesson is... stay away from chocolate and Ice Cream or at least eat them after a good solid Protein meal?

I actually think I can live with that which is good for me since for a long time my mindset was " I can't stay away from one food for LIFE..." but if I just have to eat decent first I could live with that.

      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.
