How Do You Handle Your "attacks"? What Foods Trigger Them For You?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

So I was just wondering how everyone handles their "attacks"....this is what I call them. I am currently (and hopefully) at the end of one. It started after trying to get in some more Protein and I ate 1 Vienna sausage cut up very tiny. The most I ate today was greek yogurt with granola. My last fill of .5cc was December 18th which brought me up to 6.5cc. I have to admit this amount has been a bit rough for me. I had it before and got it taken out because I got sick a few times. I decided to try it again and it's making my regular go to goods hard to eat. I wanted to give it a few weeks and see how I adjust to it but so far i'm really just on yogurt, applesauce, Protein, shakes...I may try oatmeal. I sometimes feel ok with eating this because I know the weight will keep dropping but it's not really that healthy. Are there any foods that u find are healthy and easy to keep down?

Oh and another question....when this happens to my food doesn't come up on it's own. I have to "help" the situation because I feel the uncomfortable pressure or pain, the nausea, burping, and salivating. Do u think I run the risk of making my band slip if I have to force myself? Just wondering :)

Well throwing up by any method is not good but most of us have done plenty of it and been fine. Just avoid those stuck foods and as you lose weight your band will loosen up. I am a big fan of Beans and things like tuna with mayo which are super high Protein and easy to get down when you are very tight. Also, of course, Protein Powder in soup...if you can do that for even a month you will lose weight and your band will loosen up!

      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.
