No restriction
TravelinTurnip replied to Semper4life's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
These posts have been so helpful to me! I thought I was all alone i this. I have 9.5cc's in an 11cc band and also have no restriction. Knowing there are others out there experiencing this is a relief, but doesn't make me any happier about our problem! I have some pain or getting stuck when I eat too fast or don't chew enough. But as long as I follow all the the "rules" I can just keep eating and remain hungry. If anyone has any advice that would be great! -
Hi There! Thanks for the message. I'm doing well, down 30lbs so far (11/11/09 surgery). The social aspect of things has been fine so far, although I don't have any restriction yet. I go for my second fill on 12/31 and maybe that will change things.
Enjoy the Holidays!

Hi there! How'd the surgery go? How are you feeling about it? Any social problems you were worried about? I'm down 80 total now! You're going to be great! Contact me if you need anything!

Hey Dana, The chest pressure and belching right after surgery can be gas. I had gas chest pressure for about 2 weeks. Make sure you eat slow, even when you move on to mushie food and then solids, eating slowly is so important! The pain you feel under your breast bone is the band, it sounds like eating too fast is the culprit here. A for feeling full, its not painful. The pain starts when you over-do it, which can happen quickly (an extra bite!). Good luck!

I'm doing pretty well! But its only been a few days. Its kinda crazy because I can't feel the band and am so tempted to take a big bite of something! But I'm sticking to the liquids.
Hang in there! We'll be onto pureed foods in no time!
