Restrictions out the window



Recommended Posts

I had an unfill, due to problems, well, today, I ate 4 small slices of pizza, a big no no. I was hungry, but, 4 slices, and I had no restriction. I didnt feel full, and I wanted more. I see my doc on Monday, I have to get the restriction back. I have to its really discouraging me, and for eating that, Im really beating myself up. Those 4 slices was like eating 2 slices of regular pizza size. Anyway. I hate it and I want my restriction back. Its like it passed right through the band. No drinking nothing, Ugggggh. Im failing and I hate it. I was doing great. Now look. Anyway, I had to rant about this. This is killing me mentally. :thumbup:

Hang in there !! Don't beat yourself up. If I remember there was a while there when you weren't able to eat much at all,right? I think once your body felt it was safe to eat,it gave you the urge to do so which in my opinion ,I would think would be normal. Try not to feel discouraged,you will get back on track ! ((((HUGS))))

Remember, "A single defeat is not a final defeat". So you ate 4 pieces of pizza. You will be fine. Just don't let that one error in judgement sabotage everything you have worked for to this point. I know that in the past I would think to myself, "you may as well keep eating because you already screwed everything up". That isn't the case. Think about the calories that you ate with the pizza, and just think if you let yourself keep going how many it could actually have been. You showed restraint in not giving in anymore. I probably would have. Stick to your amount of calories your allowed per day until you can get refilled and make sure you continue to exercise, if you already do. Do you know when your going to be able to be refilled? I feel for you, but seeing the amount of weight that you have already lost I am very sure that you are committed to yourself and I know that you will get back on track immediately. Your doing great, don't beat yourself up over a slip up. I have slipped up more times than I can count, but I just keep chugging along. Good Luck to you.

Do you mind that I ask what problem you had that you needed to be unfilled. Did you get all of the fill removed or just some. I have been thinking about removing all of my fill (4.5cc in 4cc band) to see if when I refill I could feel more restriction than I do now. How was your fill today? Hopefully your going to feel the restriction you want. I hope everything went well.

      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.
