Eat slower to feel full faster???



Recommended Posts

I was banded on June 7,2011 and to me it seems by eating 3 times a day is helping more than eating 6 times a day I lost 21 lbs after surgery but then gained 6 after I went back to reg foods, but this morning I've started to see my weight coming on down like a contestant on the price is right!!! I'm happy I'm excited,though I haven't had my first fill yet but I'm ready! Everybody is different, one thing I would stress to y'all folks having a rough time, it gets better and better u WILL adjust always remember the days off the money spent and the heart to even get the surgery is because u want to better ur self, if something don't work for u and it worked for someone on this forum just remember we are all different pay attention to YOUR body and u will be just fine, I go in for a fill on July 5, and I can't wait! I can eat anything but in moderation, I sometimes see food and think damn Im hungry,so I drink dome Water or a Protein Shake and bam!!! I'm all good. I'm 29 yrs old and have had some ups and downs but finally feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel,and yeah some of u guys might say u still have a long road ahead of u. I feel like I'm driving on that road just taking in the scenery! Any of u guys have any questions bout surgery don't hesitate to message me, I was lucky to have 2 buddies that had the surgery with tremendous success!!!

Thanks for the positive aspect. Sometimes those are not written about on here. Every pound down is a pound gone. You are an inspiration to us. I am only 4 day post op but working hard at each step of the way. This is definitely not easy but doable.

      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.
