Been Following A Super Strict Aktins Induction-Type Diet....too Much Perhaps?
savvyliz posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hey guys! Ok so I'm about a month and 2 weeks post op... Lost 37 lbs so far... However I've kinda slowed my roll.. I've been following a super high protein and low carb diet ( like the only carbs I was getting was from the bits of lettuce and tomato I've been eating.... I found that I'm pretty much nauseous EVERY DAY! I don't want to eat anything because of this nausea and I'm pretty sure that at this point I'm not eating enough. A sample day: Breakfast: Maybe 2 pieces of Canadian Bacon Lunch: Super small salad consisting of lettuce tomato, chicken & oil/Vinegar/salt/pepper Dinner: Maybe half of a small steak and a sugar free popsicle So... I think I may not be eating enough... And that I'm being too strict with my carbs.. I know most people DO have some carbs and even things like wheat bread or tortillas on occasion... Should I be expanding my diet some?? Any ideas on what all the nausea is about? My problem is that my Dr. is a great surgeon... But not much of a people person.. He's super curt and short when I ask questions and he's just not much help.. So I've been relying on fellow banisters for help. THANKS!!!!!!!! -
Ok So I guess I have a ton to ask about.. I'm less than a month post surgery and am a bit stuck... So I'm on my first menstrual cycle since getting my band (12/16/11) and I had been losing about a pound every two days... but for the last week, NOTHING.... It's incredibly frustrating considering it's actually the first week I started exercising! I was wondering if anyone else had had a similar experience... could it be Water retention from the period??... Moving on... I've been wondering about diet... I am always STARVING when I'm on strictly liquids and can't really wrap my head around the pureed food deal.. So I was wondering if anyone had started solids a little early on, like 3 weeks after... Now i'm not talking serious solids, but like perhaps one meal a day with some salmon or Mahi Mahi... I've had it a few times and it went down totally fine, but I just don't know if it might not have been a good idea... Suggestions?

Still Supposed To Be On Pureed Foods...want Fish!
savvyliz posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
OK so I was banded on 12/16/11.. I'm kinda going through this on my own because I made a choice not to tell anyone about being banded.. I was just in no mood for judgment from people who didn't understand... Only my mother and husband know... So, that being said, I find that going out with friends is REEEEALLY tough right now... It's pretty difficult to explain to them why i'm only having Soup broth and Water right now..lol... I know it's still early in my journey but I've tried having grilled fish a couple of times before and totally tolerated it just fine... But I can't help but wonder if it might be hindering my progress..... I've lost 24lbs since my pre-op diet but have actually hit a plateau this week with no loss (note, I'm on my period and am hoping that that is the culprit) So I was wondering, has anyone else progressed to something like fish earlier on?.. I'm finding it's like the only was for me to get any real Protein in since I can't seem to stomach Protein shakes (I've tried several and they all taste horrid to me... and make me nauseous). Any advice would help! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!- 6 replies

Oh Yeah.. My boobs (and feet for some reason) were my fists parts to get skinny.. And I'm super happy actually 'cause I hate big boobs... I was a DD pre-op.... and now (only 3 weeks post op) I'm a big C.... I hope to get just to a smallC and I'll be thrilled! Oh and if you do some weight training and push ups, etc, you should;t have any real sagging issues.. GOOD LUCK!
