In a word: Yes. I do believe so, but I also don't know just how long it might last. So Cara and I decided to a day of liquids yesterday. We both have lost restiction and we wanted to experiment to see if a day of liquids improved things. I do feel some improvement in restriction today, yes.
Breakfast: Starbux coffee
Snack: none
Lunch: Salad with grilled chicken on top and could not finish it the salad, but finished the chicken.
Dinner: 4 potstickers and a 1/4 cup green beans.
Getting lunch down was slower than dinner - but that's normal for me. I do feel like I am fuller on less - so I do feel some restriction - but its not like it was. That's for sure.
I weighed myself yesterday and then again today - I did lose .5lb overnight. I realize though, that could be anything - probably water retention.
Cara? how did you do? Thanks so much for doing this with me. Knowing you were doing it to made me get through yesterday - which wasn't really so bad after all. I had moments where I wanted to eat something solid - but I knew I'd have to report it back to Cara so I didn't!
Same this end... I felt it Monday while on liquids but nothing yesterday: business as usual. What a bummer huh.. oh well, at least we tried.
ReplyDeleteI have (I think) about 5 1/2 cc's in my 10 cc band. I am going in on Monday the 30th of this month (next Mond.) and I will most def be getting a fill. Had enough of this lol. xx
Sounds like pretty good restriction with that salad...when is your next fill? I am going next Tues. I have 6 ccs in my 10cc band and it is not bad, but could be better.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!!!!
Found you via Dash's blog! I was going to do the same thing and go back on modifast for a week....but I haven't yet:) Interesting what your findings were!!
ReplyDeleteToday is different - no more restriction than I had before. Dash - we just need to get fills, that's all.
ReplyDeleteGen - good luck with your next fill. I don't have one scheduled but I think I'm going to have to now after realizing I can't adjust my diet to bring it back!
Nola - so glad you stopped by!! I think the liquids help reduce overall calorie intake for a day - so in that respect it may be helpful if you can stick to it. Otherwise, it does nothing to improve or bring back any kind of restriction, unfortunately. :(
Happy thanksgiving everyone!
Hope you have a Great Thanksgiving!!
