eating the wrong things



Recommended Posts

Well, since my last fill of 1 more cc(5 cc's total) I seem to have more trouble eating. This in turn has me eating things I am not supposed to. meats do not seem to go down, but all the things bad for you go down much better. I am trying to mentally tell me eat the right things, but they just have trouble going down. Even soft eggs and sometimes even Protein Shakes have trouble. Ice cream, puddings reeses Peanut Butter cups- no trouble. Am I too tight or what.

Yes I would say you are too tight. You don't want to only be able to eat slider foods as they will make you put on weight and start off a vicious cycle(you will think you need to be tighter etc)

The band is designed to work with real foods such as solid Protein. If you can't eat these then you are probably too tight. Don't be scared of going back to get a small amount of fill out. Often just the tiniest amount is required and you will be amazed at how much better you will feel.

eggs are not a great indicator of tightness. I would say most people can not do eggs. They for most people are not band friendly.

Replace the pudding with yogurt. Try different meats. I found pulled pork worked better than ground beef. Shredded chicken worked better than other chicken. Use lots of sauce, and precut your chicken so you don't take a huge bite by accident.

Same issue here. Just after my fill I was back to normal. I was feeling restriction and not hungry often. Now a week later I can't get hardly anything down. Mostly back on mushies. It's like I'm tighter than right after the fill. It's good b/c I'm not starving or anything but I want more options for meals.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      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.
