Restriction Baby



Recommended Posts

WOW! 6 days into my first fill and I think I may have restriction. I'm not getting too excited because it could be gone as quickly as it's come but today I have definitely been restricted.

I work in a doctors office and every so often drug reps bring us lunch when then want to chat up the doctor. Today was one of those days. I grabbed two half sandwiches (roast beef and smoked turkey) and went into my office. I immediately got rid of the bread and started pulling small bites off of the meat. It took me an hour to eat 4 ounces of meat and a small cup of SF applesauce! It also took me all day to drink 24 ounces of Water.

While eating lunch I had a few minor stuck episodes where the dry meat must not have been chewed enough and caused me a few minutes of discomfort. I resorted then to dipping the meat into balsamic dressing and a little bit of honey mustard an office mate had.

What really blew me away was this... I was not hungry again until dinner time at 6pm! That was a good solid 4 hours I didn't even think of food!

Usually at work I have a Protein shake in the morning for a snack and would have had an applesauce sometime in the afternoon for a snack. Didn't even think of either today.

I am just hopeful that this doesn't go away!!!! If it does, I've at least had a taste of what the future will bring!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
