terrified to eat!



Recommended Posts

Hey guys! Sorry to bother you, but I had a question. I just got back from my doctor and she gave me another 0.6cc in my band (I have a LapBand APS 10cc band). I now have 7cc in my band. Before my third fill, I could still eat about a cup or maybe a little more of food per meal. I got some things stuck (bread, chicken) and as you all know, it wasnt fun! :crying:I'm not to eat solid foods till Monday, but I am afraid to eat. Will things start getting stuck left and right since there is so much more saline in my band? I'm sorry to bother you guys, but I'm just scared. :biggrin: Thanks for your time! Leeanne

I know how you feel, I have 7cc in a 9cc band and I get stuck all the time. I do think alot of it is my fault because I think I eat too fast or take bigger bites, I still haven't mastered that yet. Just start out slow and try one thing at a time to see how it goes. I was really scared too but what is really weird to me is that one day I can eat a slice of pizza or a piece of chicken and the next day I can't. I always try to stick to a Protein and vegetables for lunch and dinner so far that still goes down pretty good. :biggrin:

      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.
