I Think I Have Hit Bandster Hell...



Recommended Posts

Good Morning,

I had my surgery 2/13/12, and have been loosing steady ever since. Was never hungry, stuck the plan, never cheated, I felt great. Since Easter, I noticed that the scale stopped moving and that I am able and want to eat everything in sight. I even found myself reverting back to my old behaviors. It was like I woke up one morning and just let go of all the good habits I gained. I haven't gained any weight, but I am just hanging in limbo. I wasn't given a fill at my last appointment becasue I was loosing so much on my own, but now I am thinking it's time. Is this how it is when you need a fill? I never feel full anymore, I can eat anything and my "full" feeling is gone. I just wanted to get some input from people who have been there. Thank you!

P.S. I also haven't been excercinsing like I know I should, I just need a kick in the butt! :)

Hi there, i got my band over 2 yrs ago &i im still having those times when i go in and out of the green zone. Im working thru one now. My dr also tells me its those times when i start treating this like a diet not a lifestyle chg. Hes right tho, i was even becoming a slave to the scale again. He did give me a small fill which helps when this happens to get me bk on trk. Hope this helps. I know what thats you're going thru! I've been in tears @u times. Feel free to msg me for support anytime. If you can help with my ticker question that would help me stop pulling hair out lol. I pray it gets better for u soon.

      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.
