Phantom restriction is the best!



Recommended Posts

Tonight marks one week since band removal and Day 2 of mushies. I realize I'm still really swollen, but I have the best and most comfortable restriction ever. If there was only a way for medical science to clone the exact structure of my stomach like it is this very minute, life would be sweet!

I have that same tight, full sensation in my upper belly, but nothing uncomfortable, no feeling of a PB coming on, nothing choking me, no slime. Just beautiful, glorious restriction that should last for ever and ever and ever and ever. It's so peaceful and pleasing that I just had to share, because tomorrow the swelling will have gone down some and my ghost band will eventually fade away.

Every time I read about phantom band syndrome (or PBS as I like to call it) I get that damn theme song from Phantom of the Opera going through my head for hours!!

You never know... maybe you'll always have some restriction. That would be so great! I'm so glad you're feeling better Lisa! :D;):)

MUST be nice to have restriction. I came out of surgery with ZERO. I can eat a horse and if one meanders by me all bets are off.

I'm hoping for scar tissue to form in the shape of a little white band with a belt around my belly!

Penni, tonight when you go to sleep, try to channel my ghost. Ghosts can split in two, making 2 new exact ghosts. Burn some incense and start chanting.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
