What does it mean when someone says they have no restriction? Does it mean that they eat and still get hungry between meals or does it mean that they can pretty much eat anything meaning any type of food without getting stuck. Im new so just wondering what this means.

All of the above! Better know as "Bandster's Hell". It can take quite a few fills to finally be in the green zone.

Hope this helps.

I was allowed to keep on my wedding rings as well... They didn't even cover them that I know of unless they did it after I was knocked out ...and then uncovered them before I awoke which seems unlikely....

It can mean both, however the band isn't supposed to stop you from eating anything, so when they mean that they're expecting the band to do something it isn't meant to do anyway. It's a pretty common misconception with the band that we (unfortunately) see here a lot.

Well heck yeah when you reach restriction the band will stop you from eating certain things. What about the things that get stuck and never go down. It stopped me from eating them. So to say the band will never stop you from eating things that is also a misconception. It is also a misconception that it will stop you from being hungry. Hunger may be longer in between meals but hunger is the bodies natural response to needing food. I am at restriction and I still get hungry just not as much as I used too.

      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.
