not feeling restriction



Recommended Posts

I have a question for anyone who would like to answer. I had my 3rd fill a little over a week ago. I have the smaller band so I am up to 1.7cc's now. My question is this...With my second fil I was feeling quite a bit of restriction. Now with my third fill I'm not feeling any restriction, discomfort, anything. I'm actually able to eat as much as I want. So naturally I'm trying real hard to not overeat. I'm also not losing any weight. I haven't for the last 3 weeks or so. Is this natural or is this something I need to be concerned with? I'm exercising so I don't think it's that. I'm just wondering what is going on.

I'm up to 3 cc's and I have the 9.75cm inamed band as well that hold's 4cc's. It took me 6 fills to get here and now I'm too tight and am going for a slight unfill tomorrow. My fills never take full effect for a couple of weeks so maybe it's just taking a little time. Don't get too tight, it's miserable and I'm not losing an ounce. I've not eaten over 500 calories a day in 2 weeks and can't even eat ice cream. Good luck.

I went in for my first fill on 4/16 and do not feel much of a difference... I know this is a tool and I need to be careful what I eat but I thought I would also not be feeling so hungry. I requested a second fill and am going in on May 10th. I hope this works

Thanks for the input beachgirl. I'll keep the overfill in mind. I go back in on 5/08 so we'll see what happens. I'll make sure to post what happens

      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.
