Question about restriction



Recommended Posts

Well it's normal if you are too tight, or are REALLY stuck.

Some things other people have tried...I don't do Yoga but there is a yoga position Down facing dog or some such that people say works perfectly to "unstick you"...if you're bendy you could probably google it if you aren't a yoga person...

and some believe in sips of Water to help FORCE a PB and make the offending food come back

My kitchen sink is at the right heighth apparently to mash on my stomach and help me PB some, and in the early days if my husband would strike me sharply on the back between my shoulder blades (he enjoyed that immensely! LOL) it would help loosen things.

AND papaya enzyme helps digest Protein (it's a chewable pill I found mine at my local grocer's) but if you don't have any it won't do you any good tonight.

Others say raising their hands above their head helps...and a rare few just gag themselves ( I never ever could do that...never could've been bulimic but some people...it works) so ....

try some of those if you want. I know it's a miserable feeling!

Thanks, I think I will try all of those things. My aunt has some papaya enzymes, I may have to get those from her if it doesn't get better soon!

Thanks, I will let you know how I'm doing.

Just wanted to update you.

The pain didn't get any better through the night so I called my doctor. I went in at 10:00 this morning and he completely unfilled me so that I could rehydrate and he will do another fill a week from Monday. Hopefully close to where I was....I hated that part because that was the first time I had really felt restriction...but NOTHING is worth that kind of pain for that long! I am feeling much better, just a little sore throat from vomiting.

I was so thirsty by the time they unfilled me that I drank a ton of Water immediatley. I had never been that thirsty before.

Any way, thanks for all of your help and support. I am feeling 100% better. I'm already looking foward to next Monday so that I can get hopefully a good fill without being too tight!!!! I am so ready to start seeing some weight loss!!!

Wow you have a great doc! :smile2:

I'm glad you're feeling better; it's scary how quickly we can get dehydrated, isn't it? That was my big worry; when someone can't keep his/her own saliva down, things are going to go south really fast.

This week will fly by and it's safest in the long run! :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
