4 weeks after am I eating too much?



Recommended Posts

Ok I will start with a little background since my surgery. I was banded on November 9. Everything went extremely well. I had no real pain and was able to drink as much liquid as I wanted from the start. They actually had to tell me to not drink so much in post op. I was on 1 week liquids and then 2 weeks soft foods. I am able to handle 1 ½ to 1 3/4 cups of food no problem and that really does seem to satisfy me for at least 3-4 hours. I am also drinking about 96 oz of Water each day. Now is that too much food and Water to be consuming 4 weeks post op even though it does not seem to be hurting anything? Any comments or concerns would be greatly appreciated. I will be getting my first fill on Dec 22 so I am sure that will reduce my portion sizes.

Thanks

Sounds like your doing fine. I was banded on Nov.10 and had restriction from surgery until last weekend. I get my first fill on Monday and I'm looking forward to having restriction again.

I think you are doing great. Just make sure you are measuring your portion sizes, because you dont have any restriction. Make sure you are getting in your protien and follow YOUR docs instructions. 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.
