Can't keep proteins down after my last fill



Recommended Posts

After my last fill which was 4 days ago I still can't eat solid Protein unless I force myself to keep it down. I can eat some deli meats, but even that rough and I can do one thin slice. So other then my 24 hour liquids after my fill all I can eat is salad and curtons and my piece of deli meat. I plan on trying fish tomorrow. Only because I still don't feel I have that much restriction in my band but is that only because I can't get the protein in? Can anyone think of any other sources of protein besides chicken/turkey and shakes?

The band relys on firm Protein to keep it busy and us full....if you can't tolerate firm Proteins then I strongly advise you to get a small unfill while it is still time to get it for free. Even 0.15 ml unfill may be enough to put uou at your sweet spot. I am afraid you will resort to high calorie slider food if you don't get a small unfill.

Let us know what you do.

Try fish. I like tilapia. Bake it with some marinade (whatever you like) and then I kind of mush it up and chew well. tuna fish salad, Egg salad, chicken salad. Chew, chew, chew. Keep trying things also. For me some days I can eat chicken fine and then the next it comes up. If you still can't get stuff down, I would say ask the doctor. Maybe a small unfill is needed! Good Luck! :D

      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.
