Restricted, not restricted, Restricted, etc.



Recommended Posts

Sometimes I seem to have very little restriction and others everything I eat will get stuck. Does anyone have any explanation for this?

I have made and cancelled two fill appts. because I had little restriction and then a couple of days before the fill seemed to have so much restriction. Then a few days after things went back to the way they were with little restriction.

Anyone have some words of wisdom about this? :help:

Usually this is caused from taking too big of bites or not chewing well enough (getting stuck). If you are getting food stuck from time to time you do have restriction but more than likely just need to focus on your eating habits better to master your current fill level. It is not easy~I went through this and got another fill b/c like you sometimes I could eat everything in site and other times things got stuck. I would have been better off not getting the fill b/c after that ALOT of things got stuck. I only put out my small bandster portions and even if I feel like I can eat more than is on my plate I don't. I feel like it is better to be a little looser and not have food getting stuck then to be too tight and be sliming and PBin'g alot. Just my 2cents though...

I wonder if you get stressed before your fill and your body reacts? Just a thought since it has happened several times when you have a fill scheduled. If you are losing don't get a fill. Only get a fill when you are not losing.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
