question about restriction



Recommended Posts

hello,

i had surgery on april 8th. i just went in for my third fill this past wednesday. i STILL do not have alot of restriction!! i can drink an entire glass of Water with no problems. i can still eat more than a few ounces at a time. i'm concerned that i'm not feeling restriction like a should. i made an appt to get a 4th fill on july 8 (that's the soonest they could get me in). to date, i've only lost about 20 lbs. :tt2:

please tell me i'm not the only one who has had this problem. when did you start feeling really good restriction? i'm in another group and alot of the people said that they felt restriction by the 3rd fill.

I am in the same boat as you. I have had 2 fills and I have no restriction. I have been trying to keep my portions small and exercising 5 days a week. That is the only reason I have lost 78 lbs. I want to feel a sense of fullness. My insurance co. will only pay for 2 more fills and then I have to pay out of pocket. I can not afford $950 each fill. I pray that I reach my sweet spot with the next fill. I will schedule another one when I get back from my vacation. Good luck with your next fill.

      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.
