What can I expect next?



Recommended Posts

So between pre band diet and actual surgery and following dr's orders, I have lost 41 lbs in less than a month. It is amazing how fast it has come off. With that being said, I am still almost 3 weeks till my first fill. Currently I am eating a bowl of Cereal for breafast a smart one for lunch and same for dinner. On some days I am having an itallian ice for desert.

What can I expect to eat after first fill? Will a smart one realistically be too much? That seems really funny to type.

Thanks for feedback.

I did not notice much of a difference after my first fill.

But even now, with good restriction, I could come pretty close to finishing a Smart One, some days, I probably could.

You may find that the cereal in the morning is a no-go. Many people with the band are tight in the morning and more loose as the day goes on.

Like mentioned before, it will all depend on the amount of your fill and how your body tolerates it. I've had 3 fills, and that would be no problem for me.

With that being said, I do have one concern for you. Are you getting enough Protein with Cereal and two Smart Ones? If not, that may sabatoge your weight loss and leave you battling hunger more than you should.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
