What does restriction feel like?



Recommended Posts

I just started full liquids and was given the okay for cream of wheat. I took 2 oz of that and added 1 oz of milk ( made w 1% milk too). I was almost done and got a squeezing in my belly right under my boobs. Is that my new sleeve telling me to stop?

I get the same thing.. I get the hiccups and my chest gets real tight as if I ate something super dry and need to drink to push it down.. Keeping track of what you eat, taking your time will really help with that. I had the hardest time with it when coming home and forcing Protein Shakes down and when starting to real food.. Good luck!

No hiccups or burping yet, but I get what feels like a cramp in my chest and then stop. I ate my hot Cereal super slow on a baby spoon so I would know when I'm done. I'm so glad to feel that restriction!

The other signs are still to come. You're being careful right now..........Just wait till later when you're in a hurry or forget to eat slow, (eating fast is a hard habit to break) and you fork it down too quick........then you will know "too full". Not much you can do then but just be uncomfortable till it passes. :wacko:

I measure all my food to be sure of portion size, but if I eat too fast, it still gets me.

      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.
