By The Way....

How do you all feel about your restriction at a year out? Mine is drastically reduced. Sometimes I feel I can eat like a normal person, other times I can really feel it. Input please....:)

I was just talking to my hubby about this. Most of the time i dont feel any restriction (but i feel hunger) and its a struggle to keep myself from continuing to eat.

But every once in a while i eat something and i feel instantly restricted. Very oddwith no pattern i can identify

I will say that i have been at goal weight for almost 6 months now which is the longest in recent memory. Typically i would reach goal and almost immediately begin to regain

I still have great restriction, although it is less that it was 6 months ago. A few meal examples for me: one egg with 1/2 piece of toast, one taco, about 2-3 oz of Protein with 2-3 bites of veggie.

I am 7 weeks pregnant now, so I am curious to see how that changes things. Good luck to you.

I still feel restriction, but I think my portions are usually normal enough looking that I don't feel weird anymore when eating in front of people.

I still stop in the middle of eating to give me time to figure out if I should eat more or not. This has saved me so many times from becoming too uncomfortable. :)

This sounds about like me. However, that said, if I eat eat carby sort of things, they are mostly sliders and I can eat way more. I try to avoid these things or if I am going to have them, limit it. If I "think" I need more I will eat a Protein - instant restriction.

For me it depends, some days I for instance I can eat two chicken enchiladas with two spoon fills of Beans, other days I won't be able to finish one enchilada. It just depends.

      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.
