Very, very bad day



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 12-21-09. I had to wait untill this past Wed. for my first fill. It was a sizable fill (4.6 in a 10. band) but I still can eat as much as I want. I can not see my Dr. untill 3-15-10, and it usually takes 2 weeks or so to schedule a fill. So far today I have ate cupcakes and pizza(I'm still suppose to be on mushies from my fill). I have no restriction, have not had any vomiting, PB's, nothing. Basically just having another "poor me" day and venting.:) Thanks to everyone for sharing there thoughts and insights.

That is why this period is called "Badster Hell". I hope you gain a little comfort from knowing you are not alone. When you arrive at restriction (and that will be very soon, just 2.5 wks!!!!) you will fondly remember this day of pizza and cupcakes. I wish I had had pizza the last time I had an unfill because I am craving it mightily and just can't eat it.

Have your pity party but know that restriction is coming.

Best wishes,

Mimi

Don't sell yourself short... according to your ticker you've lost 32Lbs.

Forget about the bad things you already ate and focus on making a good plan for the rest of the day and the rest of the week.

You can also burn those foods off by taking a walk.

Get that junk food out of the house or ask your family to keep in a place that you don't have to look at it. Out of sight out of mind.

I can't take a walk. It is pouring rain and we still have a ton of snow on the ground. And as far as the bad food I went out and bought it today. I know things will get better and I NEED SPRING!

I'm here holding your hand! I just got my third fill today, and becasue of the problems with tightness after my last fill, can only have broth and juice type stuff for two days, then full liquids (Shakes and cream Soups) for two days then Mushies for two days before adding back in chewable food...

My Fill was at 9:30 and I'm already starving to death... I had just gone shopping and loaded up the fridge with all sorts of delishous nutricious foods and I have a big batch of hummus I made a couple days ago just calling my name!!!

Trust me, you will eventually get restriction and you will be so happy... I'm hoping to make up for the ZERO weight loss of the last three weeks by losing at least 5 pounds over the next 6 days..... As long as I don't starve to death and wither away first... Haha.....

seriously... enjoy eating while you can because once you're restricted it will end. also remember, the band is only a tool... YOU have to CHOOSE the healthy food!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
