Love/hate my restriction



Recommended Posts

I'm well over 18 months out Today my husband made lasagna. One of my favorite meals. I cut a small piece for lunch , about a 3x3 square. Took 3 bites and got that warning feeling to not take another bite I love my restriction. Because I surely would overdo it on a day like today I hate my restriction because that lasagna tasted so good!! Oh well the rest got packed up for lunch at work tomorrow

18 months out with PLENTY of restriction. Love it!!

So good to hear that even after 18 months there will be restriction. I heard that as times go by.. Our restriction diminishes even though we are careful with our portion size ..is that true.

Great post! I feel the same. Love it, but hate it when I'm having something dee-lish.

Very happy to hear you still have good restriction at 18 months. Very encouraging.

The denser the food, the less volume I can handle.

For example , the lasagna is loaded with beef & cheese. A few bites and I was done yet when it comes to salad greens and cole slaw, both of which I eat daily... I can eat a LOT more at a sitting

Not a bad problem to have.

      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.
