The Daily: Anyone else have varying restriction?

My restriction is changing. I'm not sure if this is normal or not. Some days I have way more than others. It also seems to change from morning to night. I'm never really sure what to expect. However I usually have no restriction at night. How is your band short term and long term?

 

Improvement on eating patterns. I actually manage to eat when I was physically hungry and ignore the head hunger. However at about midnight I got the shakes. I checked my bg it was dropping quickly. I know if I keep this up eventually my body will adjust. Then this won't happen so much. Of course it happened at midnight so I could eat pretty much anything.

 

Eaten

1.5c cereal w/milk (middle of the night, low bg had the shakes)

 

3oz meal egg, few bites hashbrown w bacon crumbs (actually had restriction woot) 2bites fruit :willy_nilly:

 

Night time no restriction..blew it and mini binged...ED rearing it's ugly head. Going to stop and move on...do my best not to repeat it tomorrow. I think I did it because I was tired, and it's a habbit...still glad the fill stops this from happening during the day, because my head hasn't quite worked it out yet.

 

1 bowl cereal

3 sf candies

several nuts

lots of meat slices

5 corn chips w/dip

2c milk

Hi Jen, what is bg? Low sugar? I am not sure. I just am not good with the initial thing yet,lol. I also don't know what ED is. I still have no restriction at all day or night. I go for my first fill on Tuesday, yeahhh!!! If you're still losing weight, then I would think you are not overdoing it but if problems sleeping, maybe you should tell your doctor.

bg is blood glucose or sugar, and ED is eating disorder. :cool:

If I do keep getting low blood sugars then I will. Unfortunatly I have not lost anything for weeks, and only 20lbs since surgery.

It will improve alot with your first fill. I know with each fill it does get better. It seems patiences is the name of this game. :tongue2:
