Please explain restriction..



Recommended Posts

Will I ever know what restriction is. I have not had a fill yet But how will I know that I am comfortably full? Right now I have no idea what that feels like. I only know what uncomfortably full feels like. I am just wondering what it is going to feel like after I have restriction..

Does that make any sense?lol

TIA

For me, there is a VERY thin line between comfortable,and uncomfortable--ive learned(very difficulty,i must say),to eat veeeery slow becuase youll fill up so quickly you wont know it until your done eating and oh my goodness i was in agony!!LOL plus,ive had a few fills (8cc now in a 10cc band),and its so difficult through each phase to tell what will happen--to full to quick,or not full AT ALL.lol My advise to you take it REALLY slow and stop and talk to someone,or watch tv ,then go back to eating,....you'll find your "comfortable full" LOL--I HOPE that made sense =-)

For me.... the first few days felt like Hulk Hogan was grasping my stomach at the top. Then after 2-3 days it started to relax. I think because I started to relax. The band is finicky and different for everyone.

Try and explore. That is really my only advice. Sorry.

Sometimes I

1) am smart and stop eating when I'm satisfied

2) hiccup and know that the band is telling me I'm full

3) feel like I've lumped my meal in my throat, then I take a swallow of something because I think I'm chocking, and the something comes back.

4) am smart enough to just cook/serve a bandster serving

5) just get tired of chewing and give the rest to my spoiled dog

6) ......

      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!
