FINALLY.... Restriction



Recommended Posts

I have had pretty good restriction for the last five weeks and haven't lost any weight at all its so frustrating, but in all honesty I had been eating way too much chocolate which I'm not now being really sensible (well trying lol!!).

Hope your restriction stays for a good while, its such a good feeling not thinking about food the whole time.

Betty, still some restriction, but not as much as last week. And like Michelle said, good restriciton make you not hungry and your not obsessed with food all day.

(Just like last week)

Oh, WONDERFUL FEELING! Can you imagine... fogetting to eat?

But now the obsession is back...

I wonder if its normal to gain, lose, gain, lose restriction like this.

Im not PMSing, not under any stress... hmmmmmm

Whatever it was, I liked it!

BTW - Im going to make an appointment with Dr. Chung today.

Paula, sounds like we're in the same boat. I am not as restricted as I was last week either. I figure I am going to hold off a couple of weeks just to see what happens during PMS and then maybe request another fill. I'm almost afraid to ask for another one since the last time I saw my dr I was really in his face about my frustrations with this band. He probably thinks I'm a nutcase!!!

      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.
