Yikes, I have gained weight - 1st time!



Recommended Posts

As of June it will be two years since getting banded, for the first time I have gained weight -11lbs to be exact.

I have never had this happen but I am not going to let it slide. I have an appointment in two weeks for a fill thankfully.

I am refocusing on my diet and exercise - looking back to my old success from when I first got my band, I just need to take good look at what I have learned and reapply it once again :smile:

I think it happens to the best of us. :thumbup:

Just think, you're still under 200 lbs, so that is awesome! I would do just like you said - refocus, etc.

I'm only 1 day out from my band - praying that I see a magic number under 200 at some point.

I always like to use the famous line from "Finding Nemo"...Just keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming. :smile:

Give yourself a pat on the back for stepping in quickly and not waiting until things were waaaay out of hand.

You have the tools, now put them back into play. you can do it!

Get your fill, and go back to band rules. That is the joy of banded life. We can tune it up and be back on track.

Best wishes!

Thank you Cocoa Bean :thumbup: the fill will certainly help and just the past two days I have really looked back and refocus, plus utilizing this site is so crucial to my success.

      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.
