This site is so helpful - txs



Recommended Posts

For the past 2 months I've been miserable - only able to eat slidder foods - never being able to keep down solid food. I just kept thinking that I wasn't chewing enough or taking to big of bites. Of course, I also wasn't loosing much, because as soon as I got thru getting rid of what was stuck, I would eat something easy, which was usually not "looser weight" friendly.

Anyway, last night was the worst. I had finally became so sick, I couldn't keep liquids down, couldn't lay down & felt like I was choking. I didn't know what to do, but after spending most of the night on-line, I figured it out - I needed to call my doctor.

What I thought was normal, was not - I was too tight. This morning she took out 1 cc & I'm finally starting to feel better. I just want to let everyone know, that this site is so helpful - not only did it help me understand what was happening to me, it helped me be able to communicate what was going on to my Dr.

Tx again

Been there, done that. I had them take 2.75cc out of my band in mid-July because I was getting stuck on everything but the bad for you sliders. I'm back up 2cc and have some restriction. I'm thinking *maybe* another .25cc or less and I'll be at the sweet spot.

Rstoun...you will learn waaaaaaaay more on LBT than you will from your doc and his staff (at least that is was I have gotten from many posts on this site). There's so much info to take in and learn from the experience of others.

Hope you stick around for the pure benefit of picking up tips and to share your experience also.

Hope this unfill puts you on the right tract and you can start to eat more healthy foods and see the benefit from that. Good luck!

      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.
