Dr. Wade Barker - hope i am doing the right things only 23 lb since i was banded



Recommended Posts

Am I doing the right things I need some support . I don't see a big difference since I got the band on 4/18. I walk and have cut my portion sizes . All I know is that I get food stuck from time to time and have to wash it down with something . What should I do then? Should I stop eating ? Anyone losing 50 or more lbs have to be doing what is required of them . I just think that I am never going to lose this weight. I am currently at 282 for 305 when I was weighed . It is hard for me to let the carbs completly go. In the past I was only a carb eater. I am 36 years old and just had a son in 2010. I need to get this weight off of me I am so disappointed about it. Please someone talk to me I need encouragement.

Thanks

I was banded 4/4/11. You need to pull away from those carbs, I have not had bread in any form since my per -op liquid diet. I started out at 304 and am now 197, I go to curves 5 days and week and walk or ride 6 days a week. I do count my calories and really push my Protein. You can do it, you may just be a slow loser and there is nothing wrong with that.

      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.
