Ooooh baby it hurts so good!



Recommended Posts

Am I the only one who likes the restriction feeling? I was banded 6.28 and had my fill almost one week ago on monday 7.26.

I have gotten something stuck almost everyday, since the fill( im still learning what an how to eat). Dont get me wrong, getting things stuck is very uncomfortable, but I like it.

I am satisfied with such a small amount of food, and one bit of the wrong food gets rid of my appitite all together.

Never in my life had I had this feeling about food! If there was ever a time when I didnt overeat or have a second helping of cake it was out of willpower and determination. I have never actually not wanted to eat a ton of food.

Maybe Im weird, but I like the pain. Like I said, it hurts sooo good!!!

I think that is awesome. Hey at least you know that it is working and that you are now about to relearn how to eat. I say high-five.

I am SO with you, Lovin. I had my first fill this past week and it's amazing how little I can get full on. Actually, just thinking of food makes me ill and I don't want to eat. Crazy to go from always thinking about what I can eat to thinking about more important things (like, okay, I'm gonna go exercise....no, I'll do it later...no, I need to do it now....ok, I'll go later).

I call my band my nagging mom..LOL

My problem is that I have always been a fast eater, I think I was trained to be that way in elementary school. They always hurried us through lunch. Since being an adult Ive always been on the go and at work we have 30 minutes for lunch but actually thats only about 10-15 minutes of really eating time.

Anyway, my nagging mother is there with me at every meal reminding me to slow down or else....just like my real mom did when I was growing up.

      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.
