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!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
