Help.. Help.. :(



Recommended Posts

I"m going on my 3rd year of being banded. I've only lost 15 lbs. yes only 15 lbs. UGH. i'm so disappointed in myself. I keep saying to my self the lapband is not working. Why dont' i feel restriction to make me stop. But its not that.. I know I have not let the band work for me. I need to feel "SATISFIED" when i eat to stop me. hard concept to learn.

I think i have like 7cc of stuff in my band and well at times i don't feel full or satisfied. I know its all in my head and i need to focus on eating only small portions and not snack.. VERY hard! I'm been trying to make a come back. I start back work tomorrow so I'm hoping that will keep my mind off of food since i've been home all week due to spring break.

I just need some help to help make this lapband work for.. I"m so depressed and angry at myself. :(

Maybe you need another fill? Why don't you schedule an appointment with your surgeon or fill doctor and discuss your problems with them?

Are you portions limited or can you eat as much as you want at every meal?

Or

Are you "grazing" all day.

Have you ever felt any restriction at all?

And last but not least......when did you see your Dr last.

      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.
