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!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
