Anyone else have a band that will tolerate a certain food one day and then a week later you cannot eat it? But then the next time you try it it's fine? (just about all food groups)

These things I CANNOT eat ever - bread (actually I never eat it because all the stories scare me!), dry meat, pinto Beans, Malt-o-meal, etc.... I'm talking about normal everyday, healthy things like green beans, moist chicken, yogurt, string cheese, salad, Soups, cooked veggies, oatmeal, lean cuisines, etc...

When I'm on my period or swollen/retaining Water I especially have issues!! Has anyone asked for a water pill and just taken it when needed? And yes - I watch my sodium intake.

I'm still trying to work with this tool of mine and not against it but sometimes it gets a little frustrating.

Yes this happens to me all the time. It's one of the reasons that people should never cross a food off their list if it gets stuck once. The next time they try it will probably be fine.

Me, too. I seem to be effected by stress, hormones and the weather. I'm not sure how I know, but I can even tell how tight the band is without eating. There are days that I make dinner for my family and realize that there's no way I can eat what I've made them. I love my band, but it has its issues.

      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.
