My Food Problems, I Need Some Suggestions



Recommended Posts

Hello all, I am having some trouble with some things and need a little help.

1) Does anyone have trouble eating the week before their time of the month?

2) I noticed last week that I wasn't losing anything and this morning I lost 2lbs. so, I was wondering if it had something do to with me ovulating?

3) I ate a gyro meat last month and did fine, so last weekend we had them again and I couldn't evan eat a piece of the meat before it was coming up. I thought it might just be the one we got so yesterday I tried it again and the same thing happened. Has this happen to anyone else? I really love gryo meat so it is really a sad thing for me. My husband thinks it might have some kind of filler in it and that is what is making me sick.

I hate asking so many question but I really need all the helo I can get.

hi,

Don't freak out.

First of all everyone is different. Most of us get tighter around tom.

Second our bands are fickle. One time we can eat something next time maybe not.It may be to dry didnt chew as well as you thought or to big a bite. Our body fluctuates with Water. We go up and down.

Hope this helped.

Wendy

I haven't noticed anything regarding my cycle other than the fact that I still crave the salty/chocolate combination!!! The only time I notice not being able to eat is in the morning. I have to stick with a shake in the morning. I have heard of people that have trouble with a particular food but try it again months later and it's ok. Your actual stomach is a moving organ so as you lose weight, lose Fluid, etc. the restriction can change. Have you read the book Band Wagon? It's a great book and covers lots of food questions. Good Luck to you!

      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.
