Too Big Or Too Small



Recommended Posts

I am at 5.25 cc

Why is it with the band you can eat the smallest piece of white chicken and get stuck but you can eat the largest bite of chocolate and it goes down?

I am struggling so bad with eating whole foods! I cant eat white chicken, salad, or red meat. I am afraid to take Fluid out because right now if i eat tuna salad or chkn salad i can eat a cup at time if i gave up bread 6 months before my surgery along with rice. i only eat no yolk Pasta 1 time month maybe ad can eat cup or 2 of that! I dont want to make my port bigger but how do i eat the healthy stuff? and I CANT LOSE WEIGHT!

I was told at Thanksgiving that I could have a few pieces of turkey, so I ate the dark meat. I have come to realize, that dark meat pulverizes easier in your mouth. Try that, you may also be able to eat the chicken and tuna salad b/c it is "wet" from low fat mayo. I Googled slider food and read that when something has low fat mayo or dressing it slides through better. Good luck with trying new foods!

Everyone is different, but I have 5.5 ccs and have had no problems with chicken breast (I haven't tried steak yet). I try to keep it very moist when cooking it. I'll usually bake it with the addtion of chicken broth and lemon. I cut it real small and dip it in something. Salsa or some FF dressing. I bought my husband some pork chops this week. I'm not sure yet if I will try them.

Chocolates going to go down easy whatever amount of fill you have. It's a slider food. So.woth that you just have to use good old fashioned will power!

      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.
