Does the way restriction feel change over time?



Recommended Posts

Sometimes it happens that this week I may be feeling very restricted and then, next week and completely out of the blue, it is as if I have no restriction at all. Maybe I just should let it flow and pretend I'mnot paying attention to it... :)

Oh man...you have NO idea how much this makes me feel better. Because now I'm having trouble. First I had NO restriction, now I can't go a day without massively PB'ing.

I do not know WHAT is up!! My band is being so....weird.

Still waiting to get my esophagram. The referral is in, the dr confirmed. Waiting for them to call to schedule.

Oh the waiting!!!! I can't take it!

Hi Karen,

It's good for you if you're soon having your esophagram and you're telling your doctor about your worries as he's the right person to let you know if everything is Ok or not. Last time I had a fill and the doctor reassured me that everything was Ok with the band and the saline in it, I started to make an effort in not taking it too seriously. I try to think the band is in here and it's my friend so I better not stress out and treat it correctly or it will make my life miserable....

Hope things will work out well for you. Hang in there!

      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.
