Restriction?

[droppingitlikeitshot75 35]

Anybody that revised from band to rny feel like or thought that you would have the somewhat the same kind of restriction? I asked surgeon about this at follow up and he said it wouldn't be the same. I'm 5 weeks out and eating regular foods now but I feel like I'm eating way too much at times. I'm measuring everything and trying to keep everything to a minimum. In my manual from Nut some stuff have 2 T servings of this or that and I can eat more than that. Today I wanted to eat every hour. I'm tolerating everything so far. I haven't had any stuck episodes on anything so far except last Friday I ate something that I shouldn't have and way too much of it too fast because I let myself get very hungry. I had some nachos with chilli. I dumped and I believe i got some stuck also. Just wondering.

I am a band to RNY, almost 3 months out and had no restriction with my band and with the RNY I do. I have had all the fun stuff like dumping and foamies and have eaten to much and payed for it. I was worried that the RNY wouldn't work for me since the lap band didn't but was wrong its working great 51 pounds down.

great news NurseTab. that is awesome. well not the foamies, but the weight loss. Oh I do remember the foamies back in the early days of banding.

I think my cravings and wanting to eat more were due to taking progesterone pills to induce a cycle. Also stressing over the semester end; finals, papers, etc. Then the restriction is based on what I eat, the consistency of eat and how I chew it.
