Delayed Restriction/So THIS is restriction



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone

Had the strangest thing happen. Two weeks ago, had a fill, bring me to 7ccs in my 14 APL. I´ve been fluctuating a lot, scale not really moving, but trying my best to keep a :mellow: good attitude.

Thursday (two weeks to the day) I fixed scrambled eggs for Breakfast, took two bites and had that awful in your chest feeling. Thought that is strange. Went about my business, PBed :eek:

We had friends in from Colorado, went to lunch, two bites of chicken, and the same thing all over. At dinner I had about a cup of white chili. It´s like the fill just really kicked in!

Did some research and called my nurse, and she said you are not going crazy, this sometimes happens, and they aren´t really sure why. She had even called teh company in the past, and they aren´t certain either.

So, I´m now eating 1/2 C of food, and feeling VERY full afterwards. I cannot wait to get on the scale this week. Maybe I FINALLY have good restrction!:cool2:

I am so glad you reached a good fill level for you. I am not sure if I am at a good level or not. Some days, it's like I have no band at all. Other days, I can only get some things down sometimes. I really have to concentrate to find out what kind of a day I am having.

CONGRATS AGAIN!

I just had a fill yesterday and I'm now at 7 cc's in a 10 cc Realize Band. I'm going to do liquids for two wks because my weight loss has come to a screeching HALT. So this fill should help me do that. congrats on losing 77 lbs.

Hi everyone, I am due for a fill tommorrow, however, i'm debating whether to get one or not. Has anyone experienced that when it's real cold outside your band seems to tighten . . or is it just me. Is it possible that after 2 months since my last fill I'm starting to feel restriction?

Hi Everyone

Not checked in for awhile. Been super busy, hopefully that will change soon.

But I´ve been a good girl doing my exercises, and got another fill the other day taking me to 8.4 in a 14cc band. Lost 5 pounds since then!

This is a new experience, in that I´m super tight, and REALLY have to watch what I´m doing. In the morning I do my Protein shake, for lunch cottage cheese, and then by evening I can eat something with a bit more substance.

Hoping this will be a good spot for me to loose. I´m ALMOST half way to what I want to lose.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
