What Does This Mean.....



Recommended Posts

What does it mean when someone says they have no restriction? Does it mean that they eat and still get hungry between meals or does it mean that they can pretty much eat anything meaning any type of food without getting stuck. Im new so just wondering what this means.

All of the above! Better know as "Bandster's Hell". It can take quite a few fills to finally be in the green zone.

Hope this helps.

I was allowed to keep on my wedding rings as well... They didn't even cover them that I know of unless they did it after I was knocked out ...and then uncovered them before I awoke which seems unlikely....

It can mean both, however the band isn't supposed to stop you from eating anything, so when they mean that they're expecting the band to do something it isn't meant to do anyway. It's a pretty common misconception with the band that we (unfortunately) see here a lot.

Well heck yeah when you reach restriction the band will stop you from eating certain things. What about the things that get stuck and never go down. It stopped me from eating them. So to say the band will never stop you from eating things that is also a misconception. It is also a misconception that it will stop you from being hungry. Hunger may be longer in between meals but hunger is the bodies natural response to needing food. I am at restriction and I still get hungry just not as much as I used too.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
