Question About Restriction



Recommended Posts

As the days go by I'm beginning to wonder if my dr even did a sleeve on me. Today is day #11 and I can hardly tell any restriction the last 2 days. Have I screwed up & stretched it already??? :'(

I think it takes a little while to start feeling the real restriction. As long as you are consuming mostly liquids and really soft foods, you can take in way more...once you add meat to the mix, it seems you fill up quickly. I actually think you are not as sensitive nerve-wise and it takes a little while to start really feeling the restriction. I think that is the reason it is so important to follow your post-op diet...

Still on liquids? You WILL notice the restriction when you start solids.

I didn't feel restriction until solid foods. Tread lightly!!

I have felt like that a couple of times...it has gotten way better the last couple of weeks...In the beginning, it's like you are so consumed with what you can and can't have. As you go along, you learn what you can and can't eat...you quit trying things and really start using the sleeve to your benefit. I ate about 10 pita chips today...five of them had hummus, the other five were plain...I was so full I could barely move...But for Breakfast, I had about 1/4 cup of frittata, lunch was about 2 oz of chicken, and then I ate those pita chips...I most of the time eat five meals a day, but today, I have only eaten three times. Probably cause I ate five times yesterday...and I am just not that hungry today. So don't beat yourself up over it. I remember drinking 12 oz of Protein drink when I was doing liquids...my doctor said that was normal in the liquid stage. I did not gulp it down, but I don't remember savoring it for any great amount of time either...I don't think there is a lot of stretching going on in the first months anyway...I think that probably comes with overindulging over a period of time...

KFC mashed potatoes and gravy was my go-to on mushies...I didn't really like Beans. I didn't have meat until week 5.

Oh its a totally different when you get to solids. Liquids and soft things slide on through the sleeve. More solid foods stick around longer in the stomach. You're doing fine, just remember to be eating the healthy liquids and soft foods. No ice cream ..etc.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
