Possibly overate?



Recommended Posts

Last night for dinner I may have eaten a little to much and that includes some bread. I do not have any fill yet. Ever since then my stomach has been bothering me. Just uncomfortable, not unbelievable pain or anything. I still am getting a little hungry, not like I have been though.

Do you think I should go to Protein shakes for the rest if the day and maybe tomorrow? Not sure if it is just that I ate to much and irritated something. I also had a hiatal hernia repair during surgery. DO you think I could have done any real damage?

How many days post op are you? Are you supposed to be on solids? I might go to liquids for a day. You could be swollen from over eating.

I doubt you've harmed yourself. But if really concerned, call your doctor. That's one of the things that banding requires.. support from the bariatric professionals.

I wouldn't go to liquids UNLESS you're having pain or issues with getting stuck. One of the cardinal guidelines of banding is no liquid calories, once past the healing phase. Make sure what you do eat is cut in very small bites, size of a #2 pencil eraser and chew well.

Make yourself a cup of hot tea of whatever flavor you like and sip on it a bit. That may make you feel better.

Good luck.

Yeah I was told not to do liquid calories, but it was just a thought. I will try for dinner to cut smaller and chew better and see if it feels ok

      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.
