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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
