Delayed Restriction/So THIS is restriction



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone

Had the strangest thing happen. Two weeks ago, had a fill, bring me to 7ccs in my 14 APL. I´ve been fluctuating a lot, scale not really moving, but trying my best to keep a :mellow: good attitude.

Thursday (two weeks to the day) I fixed scrambled eggs for Breakfast, took two bites and had that awful in your chest feeling. Thought that is strange. Went about my business, PBed :eek:

We had friends in from Colorado, went to lunch, two bites of chicken, and the same thing all over. At dinner I had about a cup of white chili. It´s like the fill just really kicked in!

Did some research and called my nurse, and she said you are not going crazy, this sometimes happens, and they aren´t really sure why. She had even called teh company in the past, and they aren´t certain either.

So, I´m now eating 1/2 C of food, and feeling VERY full afterwards. I cannot wait to get on the scale this week. Maybe I FINALLY have good restrction!:cool2:

I am so glad you reached a good fill level for you. I am not sure if I am at a good level or not. Some days, it's like I have no band at all. Other days, I can only get some things down sometimes. I really have to concentrate to find out what kind of a day I am having.

CONGRATS AGAIN!

I just had a fill yesterday and I'm now at 7 cc's in a 10 cc Realize Band. I'm going to do liquids for two wks because my weight loss has come to a screeching HALT. So this fill should help me do that. congrats on losing 77 lbs.

Hi everyone, I am due for a fill tommorrow, however, i'm debating whether to get one or not. Has anyone experienced that when it's real cold outside your band seems to tighten . . or is it just me. Is it possible that after 2 months since my last fill I'm starting to feel restriction?

Hi Everyone

Not checked in for awhile. Been super busy, hopefully that will change soon.

But I´ve been a good girl doing my exercises, and got another fill the other day taking me to 8.4 in a 14cc band. Lost 5 pounds since then!

This is a new experience, in that I´m super tight, and REALLY have to watch what I´m doing. In the morning I do my Protein shake, for lunch cottage cheese, and then by evening I can eat something with a bit more substance.

Hoping this will be a good spot for me to loose. I´m ALMOST half way to what I want to lose.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
