As we all know, our level of restriction seems to change throughout the day. No one can explain exactly why this happens. What's your restriction pattern?

dinner time. I often sit down to eat and realise "I just dont want this". Which is a concern since dinner is my healthiest meal, its when I eat good red meat and vegetables that I really dont get at other times of the day. So I tend to take my time over it and keep at it for half an hour or so and I usually get it down.

It seems with a lapband I shouldnt eat if I really dont feel like it, but the troubel is I know my body needs it, and calorie wise, I'd be stopping at like 800 for the day if I didnt eat my dinner, which as a runner, is definitely not enough.

And I've been logging on fitday recently and I'm consistenly low on Iron, B Vitamins and Calcium, so getting dinner in is important.

I had no restriction after syrgery, after my first fill or after my second fill. I'm now luxuriating with perfect restirction after my third fill. Breakfast has to be a Protein shake...lunch is light but solid, and for dinner I can eat more, but not excessively. Never before in my life have I had to think about how to get ENOUGH calories! Nice problem to have....

I've learned not to expect to get much down in the morning. And when it's that time of the month FORGET IT! I'm locked tight for 3 days.

I cant seem to eat anything during the morning and if I force the issue to try and eat in the morning, it hurts and feels uncomfortable to swallow. Even in the middle of the day it tends to be hard to eat unless I nibble on something. But at night after 6pm its on, I can eat to much some nights more than I should.

I'm guessing I could lose .1cc in my band and probably eat better. I can get a Protein Shake down in the morning if I dilute it with hot Water. I'm still pretty restricted until 2pm and then I can eat reasonably, so I have a late small lunch and that keeps me not as hungry for dinner. It's working well, and I figure since I'm losing weight, I'll be losening the band anyway soon...and will have had a nice weight loss in the meantime.

Update: Oddly, the band is much looser now. I can eat eggs for breakfast and I'm struggling not to overeat from 2 on.... Hmmm. I liked it better the other way.

This is an old post. I have more restriction in the mornings. However, I also have great restriction when I workout.

I can eat breakfast and lunch no problem but in the evenings, especially after going to the gym I can have problems. I try to make sure I have a serving of Protein and veggies at lunch.

      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.
