    Help-I'm Really Hungry

    Its easy to get crabby when you havent figured this thing out yet. Most of these people that comment that way have already figured it out and have lost their weight... They forget we are beginners! And I have wanted to kill someone lately... We will get through it though!

    Help-I'm Really Hungry

    I was super tiny for years from not eating any carbs! Why not go on a low carb diet vs getting the band if that's all you need to do? That some what irratates me. I need portion control! I cant stand the low carb diet anymore after 5 years of having NONE... An egg makes me want to vomit just looking at it! My sister eats whatever she wants on the band and has lost 60lbs so its while its preferred, its not the only way! Just wanted to throw that out there! but thanks for all the tips on what you eat... That gave me some good ideas!

    When did you start mushy foods???

    Tuna! yess.. forgot about Tuna! Thank you!
  6. Ok I will be two weeks post-op on Thrusday but I had to start my mushies on Sunday. I was either gonna die or kill someone from being so cranky!!!! When did you start mushies? My doctor wanted me to be on liquids only for two weeks and then mushy food for another two! I am about to die from hunger. I know I dont get enough Protein either... BTW I was bad today too:rolleyes:... I had 3 chicken nuggets and some fries. All of which I chewed to death and they went down fine. Other than that I have only have soft mushy foods! I want to eat. What are good mushy foods?
  7. Meee toooo BabyK. I am suppose to be on liquids the first 2 weeks and then mushies for two weeks. I was either gonna die or kill someone. I was so cranky. So I put myself on mushies... But isnt everything mushy when you chew it to death? So I was bad today. I had chili for lunch whitch is pretty soupy but for dinner I had 3 chicken nuggets and some french fries... I mean i chewed them to hell and I had no problem with them going down at all!!!! I feel bad but I also feel that all they want us to eat is low carb. I was on a low carb diet for 5 years and stayed at 123. But after I got married and kids the weight all came back. I dont have time for that. But what I am saying is, if I wanted to be on low carb I could have went on a low carb diet and now paid out of pocket! I need portion control which I feel I have!!! So I have been eating mashed potatoes, Soups, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, yogurt, cottage cheese. I really want a cheese burger or fajitas!!!!

    Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor Texas

    I am starting to starve!!! I had a few handfuls of MM's today...OOOPS. I chewed them to nothing though. I dont go for my first fill until 10/22. It took my sister 4 fills and almost 9.5cc to have restriction. I think everyone is just different! Hang in there!
  9. Hi, I got my surgery 9/30. I think I started at like 37bmi... i have lost about 12lbs. Yippee. However, I am starting to get super hungry. I had a few handful of MM's today. I chewed them to almost nothing LOL. Contrats on yours too. good luck with it!

    2 Weeks Post Surgery and ...

    But you dont have a fill yet. I wish I could eat that. I am still on liquids. My sister has had 4 fills and has always been able to eat whatever she has wanted. However, she has lost 50lbs. The band has completely changed her portion control though. If I wanted to go on a low carb diet I could have done that without paying thousands out of my pocket!!! I hope I am that lucky. Some people lose more in a year than her but she is happy the way she is doing it. Slowly losing weight and still able to enjoy her food!
  12. Hey girl! When did you get your surgery! Mine was on the 5th of October! You look like you have a lower bmi...mine was 35 when i started. We should keep in touch and compare experiences if youd like! Congrats on getting the band!!!!!!!

    Is Anyone "not using" their Band?

    Well I am going to have ask next time I see her. Which wont be for a couple of weeks... But I thought it was interesting so I thought I would ask here!
  14. Question for you longer term bandsters. I was talking to my patient advocate and she mentioned in passing that she doesnt even use her band anymore, that is is just sitting in there. What does that mean? Someone walked in and I forgot to ask later. Does that mean she just learned to eat and doesnt need it anymore???? Can you actually ever get to that point??? I would love to. Just wondering!
  15. Thanks everyone. I talked to the patient advocate today. She said break a capsule apart and put it in applesauce etc. Which I know one had suggested!!! That's what I will be doing for now on. Appreciate the feedback!
