How much weight did you lose the first month after hving True Restriction?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have had 2 fills and have another coming up in June 12th. I'm hoping for True Restriciton then.

My doctor told me that once you have good restriction you will lose the most weight the following few months.:thumbup:

How many fills did it take you to reach restriction ? Once you had true restriction, how much weight did you lose in the following month?

Thank you all...:thumbup:

It's weird, after each fill I always lose a pound a day for like 4 days and then I don't lose anything for like a week or two.. then I'll lose a few more pounds... and then nothing. But, the biggest change was after my third fill. It's lasted for almost 3 weeks but I go in for another fill next week as I'm starting to get more hungry again. I don't mind when my weightloss plateau's because to me that just means that its more permanent weight loss. I don't gain or lose.. it just stays there. I change my eating up a bit and bam I'll start losing again.

When I had restriction (after my 4th fill) I didn't lose anything. Fills don't seem to work for me very well. I ended up having a spasm and my band closed up on me. I had to have a complete unfill. Since then I have had some put back in, but I don't have any restriction now at all. I find that eating 5-6 small (well balanced) meals everyday and working out is the best way for me to lose.

      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.
