Either too loose or too tight:(



Recommended Posts

Since my last fill I have days where I'm either so tight that I can't keep food down at all or I'm so loose that I can eat anything and everything and I'm starving all day.

Today I've been able to eat things that I haven't been able to eat in months with no problem whatsoever. Why can't I find a middle/perfect ground with my band?

What are you guys doing on loose days? It seems on those days I'm absolutely starving and I have a hard time staying below my daily calorie goal.

I have that problem also, I will have days when I think that I need a fill because I can eat anything and so I make up my mind to get a fill. The day before I have problems with getting stuck. I think my band is fickle...but I love it anyways! When I can eat whatever, I try (and it is hard) to eat good choices but I love to be bad sometimes too. If I eat something sweet, I make sure that I have a cheese stick or something with it. It makes me feel like it cancels each other out somehow. This has been a funny journey to try and get my mind in tune with my stomach. Keep up the good work!

      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.
