I think pancakes was a bad idea.....



Recommended Posts

Hi c...I hope I didn't sound harsh when I said that I get nauseous thinking of pcakes...I was feeling grumpy last night because I'm worried about a band slip but I don't think it's the case. I will report back if it is but I have a gut feeling it isn't. Listening to my gut has always been a good approach for me.

I want to tell you though that before my fill I could eat anything also. AFter my first fill ...I could eat almost anything but wasn't losing additional weight from the original weight I lost post op. AFter my 2nd fill ...anything that expands...like breads etc. will cause me to get stuck! I am not good at chewing slowly though and that may be my problem. It's a hard habit for me to start after so many years of eating without thinking. Everyone is different though hon and I wish you success which I know you will have. best ..m

Your uncle is a smart man~! This is totally the case with me as well, but for me I sometimes have to get sick more than once until my brain goes no way you don't want that. It is a matter of my mind adjusting to my new body that doesn't have an Iron stomach any longer. It's almost like I have a normal stomach now, before being banded I could eat 5x more than anyone and never feel sick or every have indigestion. This trait was probably a great survival mechinsm many years ago but in this American obessed with thin society it's a negative trait for sure!

      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.
