What does restriction feel like???



Recommended Posts

I just had my 5th fill on Monday. Since then, sometimes I can eat alot and other times only a couple of bites. When I can only eat a couple of bites I usually have to throw up to get rid of the tightness and chest pain I feel. Is this restriction or what is it. Appreciate any specific examples of what it feels like to be restricted. I really need help and don't want to call the doctor just yet. I've been able to get 5 fills within 3 months and would hate for him to want to take any cc's out.

You will oftentimes feel tighter in the morning and more loose at night. If you feel you can't keep anything down, not even Water then you are too tight. You are feeling that tightness most likely because you are eating too fast and taking too big of bites. Focus on slowing down and eating really small bits of food at a time. Also the typ of food you eat can make you feel like throwing up because it gets stuck. Most common Protein that does that is the white meat chicken and turkey. Others include breads and Pasta. Take it slow and if it happens all the time talk with your doctor. It is a learning process.

Thanks for the help.

This morning I only took 2-3 bites of egg and had chest pain. I chewed it well and took small bites. I stopped eating and started again when the pain resided. I probably shouldn't eat after the chest pain but I felt 3 bites is not enough to make me full. Any ideas about this? Thanks

Sometimes it depends on the type of egg. Scrambled eggs tend to be too dry and stick when going down so you get that feeling. Fried or poached go down much better.

      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.
