4Yrs Out May Have Slip



Recommended Posts

Ok so I had lap band surgery March 26 2008. I lost over 150 lbs total from highest.

I've gone through a divorce after being married 20 yrs. my mom died in 2010 and last May my 17 yr old daughter moved 2 hours away to live with her dad and has nothing to do with me. After us being close since the day she was born. With all this going on I've gained back 46lbs. From eating sweets, being depressed and not exercising. I just recently started to have acid reflux and am scared my band has slipped. I'm praying it hasn't. True Results whom I went through for my surgery is no longer in Atlanta so now I need to go to the dr but trying to figure out where to go. Until I figure that out I'm back to eating like I was suppose to be. High Protein shakes, chewing slowly, no sweets and stop eating after 20 mins. And exercising. I just need some encouragement. Thanks

LYNN,

SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH A GREAT DEAL IN THE PAST 4 YEARS...I THINK YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK, STARTING TO EAT HEALTHIER, AND SLOW DOWN WHILE EATING...JUST GET BACK TO BASICS AND SEE IF THAT DOESN'T HELP....YOU DIDN'T SAY IF YOU ARE THROWING UP??? THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE SIGNS....JUST TRY TO EAT SMALL AMOUNTS AND KINDA START BACK OVER...I HOPE YOU WILL FEEL BETTER...

      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.
