4 Weeks Post Lap Band Surgery... Am I Eating Too Much?



Recommended Posts

Hello all!

I am 4 weeks out and I feel like I am not doing so well. I lost 26 lbs in my first two weeks but have gained a pound or two since.

I was extremely dehydrated at one point and just started drinking the correct amount of liquids.

I eat small portions of eggs, grits, cheese, or sandwich meat for Breakfast. Sometimes a mixture.

For lunch I will get a small sized plate and usually eat whatever I can get. A lot of Protein and very little of anything else.

Usually around dinner time I try to do the same as lunch, but sometimes I feel like it's just too much.

I have about 2 Snacks during the day (mostly cheese or sandwich meat).

I do not have a digital scale so I am not exactly sure HOW MUCH I am actually eating. I have just been eyeballing it on small plates. I definitely need a scale.< /p>

My biggest problem is that rarely after I eat I have a dull pain under my breast bone and I know it's from over eating. I have not had to throw up yet.... I am just super worried and need some support! I hope I am not messing this up!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
