I Can Still Eat Too Much....



Recommended Posts

I had my band on 12/21, the first fill was 2cc's and had no restriction. The second fill was 3 cc's and now I have minimal restriction. I eat well all day but I eat too much at dinner. I didn't think I would be able to eat that much without getting sick. For instance I had two small pieces of pizza tonight. I know i shouldn't have ate that much but my last meal was 6 hours before. I do not eat bread except for an occasional pizza or wrap, I drink no soda. I don't even know how much I should be able to eat. I have never been stuck. Every now and then I will eat something and lay down and when I get up I feel like someone kicked me in the stomache.

Do you weigh your Protein? If not buy a digital food scale and start. I weigh out 3 oz of solid protein and eat low fat/cal. veggies until full. This is a will power diet until you get restricton. In the future if you are going to have pizza have a small salad this will help you have only 1 piece of pizza. Also make sure the pizza has protein like chicken breast. Remember protein helps you feel full.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
