Frustrated And Discouranged

[Dawn200321 146]

Last Monday I had to go to the ER with back pain. They told me my gallbladder needed to come out right away. I waited for my lap band surgen to arrive cause she was the one they called to perform the surgery (was happy about that) Then she told me the really bad news that my band had to be deflated. I was already needing a fill and gaining weight. I now have to wait till Friday to get my band where it was. I am probably still going to need another fill after that. I have gained 2 pounds thourgh all of this. I am so hungry all the time and to top it off I was on my period week which made me even 10 times hungrier. I just feel really discouraged because I was doing so well. I havent been able to really exercise either cause of the surgery so that is just adding more weight tome!! GRRR Thanks for letting me vent everyone!

Setbacks definitely suck, but once you recover from surgery you'll be on track again. Be proud of what you have accomplished so far! Hope your recovery goes well, and feel better soon!

Well, you could eat a bit more, just healthy stuff! Chow down on all the fruits and veggies (and even lean meats, if there are some you can't eat while banded) that give you issues when your band is tight! I would love to dive into some grapes and cherries, and a big veggie stir fry with lots of bean sprouts (whcih are now my nemesis) as weird as that sounds!

I still can't eat bananas apples oranges I an eat broccoli and turnip and onions that is it. Can you tell me wat is sliders.

[1shauna1 129]

sliders are foods that pass the band easily and generally they are not too healthy, like ice cream, potato chips, Cookies, etc.

Yes I have been eating sliders all week. Right now I have no restriction. I know they had to do this but I am still feeling frustrated. I guess I cant be to hard on mysel. Its only 2 pounds and as soon as my band is full again then I will be good to go!
