My Band has a MIND of its OWN!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Ok So my band really does have a mind of its own!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday for lunch we went out to subway (sometimes i can tolerate bread) My boyfriend and I were chatting away and i looked down and had completed a whole 6 inch sub!!!! (take in mind i probably ate it over an hour period) This is very unusual for me to be able to eat that much! Then I ate my normal sized dinner and went to bed.

Ok so now to the band and its mind... Today I cant eat ANYTHING ughhh haha! I guess my band has said "I let you eat yesterday so no food for you today!" Does anyone else have days like this??? Most days I'm on my normal diet... Some days i can eat the world... then on others I cant eat ANYTHING

:blink::lol:

My band also has a mind of it's own, but I don't think it would let me eat a 6" sub because it won't let me eat bread :blink: . There are days were my normal food just doesn't want to go down as easily. I think it all has to do with hormone and my cycle. My band and I are a team, but most of the time it seems to be in charge.:lol:

Mine is like that too! As you loose weight your band gets looser and you need another fill....also your hormones play a huge part. The week before my period I am so tight I can hardly eat and then I am back to "normal" after that. You are not alone I have the same weird stuff happen to me too!

I am finding out that my band is the same way. Seems on sundays it lets me eat what I want and then come Monday and Tuesday back to really small meals if it even lets me eat. Weird :blink:

      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.
