Restrictions out the window



Recommended Posts

I had an unfill, due to problems, well, today, I ate 4 small slices of pizza, a big no no. I was hungry, but, 4 slices, and I had no restriction. I didnt feel full, and I wanted more. I see my doc on Monday, I have to get the restriction back. I have to its really discouraging me, and for eating that, Im really beating myself up. Those 4 slices was like eating 2 slices of regular pizza size. Anyway. I hate it and I want my restriction back. Its like it passed right through the band. No drinking nothing, Ugggggh. Im failing and I hate it. I was doing great. Now look. Anyway, I had to rant about this. This is killing me mentally. :thumbup:

Hang in there !! Don't beat yourself up. If I remember there was a while there when you weren't able to eat much at all,right? I think once your body felt it was safe to eat,it gave you the urge to do so which in my opinion ,I would think would be normal. Try not to feel discouraged,you will get back on track ! ((((HUGS))))

Remember, "A single defeat is not a final defeat". So you ate 4 pieces of pizza. You will be fine. Just don't let that one error in judgement sabotage everything you have worked for to this point. I know that in the past I would think to myself, "you may as well keep eating because you already screwed everything up". That isn't the case. Think about the calories that you ate with the pizza, and just think if you let yourself keep going how many it could actually have been. You showed restraint in not giving in anymore. I probably would have. Stick to your amount of calories your allowed per day until you can get refilled and make sure you continue to exercise, if you already do. Do you know when your going to be able to be refilled? I feel for you, but seeing the amount of weight that you have already lost I am very sure that you are committed to yourself and I know that you will get back on track immediately. Your doing great, don't beat yourself up over a slip up. I have slipped up more times than I can count, but I just keep chugging along. Good Luck to you.

Do you mind that I ask what problem you had that you needed to be unfilled. Did you get all of the fill removed or just some. I have been thinking about removing all of my fill (4.5cc in 4cc band) to see if when I refill I could feel more restriction than I do now. How was your fill today? Hopefully your going to feel the restriction you want. I hope everything went well.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
