4th Lap Band Adjustment



Recommended Posts

I got my 4th fill last Wednesday, since then I've noticed that I can't eat much if anything before 1 or 2 o'clock. I can get more food down the later it gets but I am concerned because I don't want to eat and go to bed. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what do you eat before bedtime that won't destroy you on the scale?

Thanks!

My dr. says that is normal and I have heard other people say that also. So I drink a cup of warm tea in the morning before Breakfast and it seems to work. good luck on your journey.

That is also my concern, After my second I can only do warm liquids usually just like you until 1 or 2 pm.

Very normal. I can never eat Breakfast and most days can't do much for lunch either.

Very normal, I usually have a Protein Drink in the mornings. Just like my wedding ring, my band is very tight in the morning and actually too loose in the evening. Not because of calories but because of heartburn I have to really work not to snack at night...its all good!

this is me everyday. i don't get truly hungry until around 1pm. i have warm tea or coffee in the morning to help the tightness, then i drink a Protein Shake in the mornings. afternoons i have tuna salad, or chicken salad or egg salad. sometimes i have Soup, just make sure you get your Proteins in. for dinner, i eat a sensible dinner, if i am hungry before bed, i have a greek yogurt.

it is normal to be tighter in the mornings.

Thank you all! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. Sometimes I have difficulty getting Water down in the mornings but I will definitely try to get in the Protein Shakes in the morning/afternoon.

I have only had one fill and it was 2cc's. Don't feel any restriction. How many cc's before you feel it?

      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.
