Need help on eating ideas... please share!
wmaodell replied to wmaodell's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Karen thank you so much for that! I've already had my second fill and I'm at I believe 4.6cc... I don't feel a restriction yet and I believe that's why I can eat more than I'm supposed to right now. I've started to really eat SLOW because I fill like I can fill up quicker...? I'm stuck at 181 right now and so realization has hit that I HAVE to start eating better choices or it's not going to budge! I just feel like it's really hard for me. I know everyone says this but I feel like I can't get passed the eating bad. I see so many people on here that have lost so much weight and I think to myself surely I can do it to... But how did they get passed their old eating habits? That has become my biggest struggle... Today instead of eating I got out with the kids and played in the water. That helped a bunch! I just have to get off my lazy bum and get moving and I think that will help motivate me to eat better also... -
Hi there, I was just banded on May 15, 2009 and I have came to a halt on my weight loss... I'm on the smaller side so that might be a problem but right now I'm just not sure what to eat and how much or if I should be watching my calorie intake... please give ideas... I started at 208 and now I'm at 184 and haven't moved in over a week... I was at least losing 1-3lbs a week. Anyone have any ideas or am I just being paranoid...? Thanks in advance...!

Thanks for the reply! I know that I'm not eating the "right" foods and that is what I am trying to move away from... How do you beat the temptations? I can't get passed the cravings... I try I start the day off good recording everything then after lunch about an hour or two I feel like I just need to eat something and that's where the bad foods kick in... I have two kiddos at home for the summer and i try to keep healthy snacks at hand but for some reason I just can't beat the choc. cravings... My mom just had surgery two weeks ago and has already got to my starting weight and I told my husband that if I'm not careful she'll pass me up so I think that is going to be my motivation... I just need someone on here that can motivate me and that I can talk to about stupid issues when i don't think I can handle them myself!! Any takers? -
Was there something you "had" to have pre-surgery?

Mine was chicken wings!! My surgery was on May 15, 2009 and on mother's day I told my husband all I wanted was chicken wings from Wing Stop!! I still lost ten pounds before surgery... lol -
I have a question for you if you don't mind... What do you eat to keep losing weight when you plateau? I'm on the smaller side and was banded on the 15th of May this year and have lost 24lbs but can't get passed the 183 mark... I've been at a halt for about two weeks now... any suggestions?

Yes, I have had my first fill and am at 4.6 cc and have my next fill on the 25th so hopefully that will nip it in the bud. But they also said that when your on the smaller side that you have to have more cc's before you start filling any restrictions. I just don't know what to eat really you hear that you should eat a certain amount of calories so that you burn fat and don't come to a halt but how many I don't think I can eat healthy and eat 1400 calories... -
That's great my moms pre-op is on the 17th and surg on the 22nd so she just started her protein diet and she's already freaking out... hehe. But I'm glad you liked him that will be easier for her to know someone had good reviews! Hope all is well thanks for the info.

Ouch! You bled... owie! -
I'm glad your doing good and don't worry about the plateau I think your just slowing down a bit now. I was losing really fast and then thought the same but I will lose about a lb every four days or so but I'm not really watching what I eat all that well just the portions and I don't start back to the gym until tomorrow so I know that will kick it up a notch... The doc said that if your eating liquids then they only keep you full for about two hours then you'll start to feel hungry again... He said I was right on track but I just guess in my head it should be coming off quicker for the fact that I'm not eating everything in site now... but I know it will take time. I've lost a pants size so I guess that should keep me motivated more than the actual weight. But I'm glad your doing great keep up the good work and just remember your losing either way and that's the good part

Hey there just wanted to check in on you see how your doing... I went in for my first fill weighed in 20lbs down. Fill was okay I didn't have it numbed so just alittle discomfort but good. I already had 2.6cc in and they added 1cc so I fill tighter. I can kind of fill in in my chest alittle... weird. But they have you stay after and drink a glass of water to make sure your not to tight. I think I'm doing okay though. He said I was right on track so I guess that's good. Hope all is going well for you!

Your doing great! You'll be able to start sleeping on your side soon... my prob is that I like to sleep on my stomach and I still can't... :-( My hunger hasn't changed though I struggle every day. My family just made hot dogs and I can practically taste them. My sons bday party was yesterday and that was hard to... I had a tablespoon of ice cream and it about killed my throat. My issue is just plain old food. Something that crunches in my mouth versus having to swallow liquids all the time. But I'm moving along to week two and am excited. Before to long I'll be there. I just keep trying to be positive. Your doing great and keep up the good work!
