Losing Weight Without Restriction?



Recommended Posts

As I am reading more posts on this site, Do you not begin to lose weight unless you have restriction or does it depend on the person? I feel like I have no physical restriction right now and I am 3 weeks post op yet I am still not able to eat nearly as much as I used to. Can I still lose weight without a fill?

Yes you definitely can, I know I did before my first fill. Plus, some people do have some restriction from the band alone. It sounds like you may be one of them.

I have kept track of my caloric intake via an app called "Lose It!" since the day I got home from the hospital. It is very helpful not only counting calories and nutrients but holding me accountable to what I eat. Before I had a lot of restriction (like where you are now) it was particularly useful in keeping me from over-eating because I could see instantly where my consumption was at for the day.

Before surgery I was 385. They put me on a strict diet and I lost 20lbs. Then the two week liquid diet plus the 1 week post diet I lost another 20lbs. It does depend on the individual. I could tell after the first fill that I had a restriction, but I was still able to eat more than they said I would. I was told that I would not see a difference until fill 4. When I got fill number 4, the first couple days it was hard to even get down Water. You will start to feel the restriction at some point.

It is really an individual thing, but in 'general' most people dont feel restriction till a few fills are done, however there are people who have been on this forum that reached goal weight with no fills just the band .. its good u feel some restriction now .. so be happy !

Depends upon the person...some are very good at dieting. I am not. That's why I needed the surgery to loose weight.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
