What Gives?



Recommended Posts

I feel like i am at a good restriction level. However this weekend we celebrated my anniversary ( which is 18yrs today). ;-) anyhow we went out for dinner an i got stuck on almost eveeything 3 days straight toast which had been fine until now, chicken, i seem to be getting stuck on everything except smoothies veggies and OFCOURCE cake :( i do not want to start eating sliders but it hurts so badly to get stuck.

Has anyone dealt with this? Plz any ideas appreciated. Constructive critism glad accepted too. I just REALLY want to be successful. Btw i have 5.3 in a 10cc band.

Thanks all

have you been sick or stressed recently. i had an episode where i was traveling by car for over 6 hours and was super tight. didnt get it. i found my band goes thru fickle phases with no rhyme or reason. sometimes, stress, TOM, or the weather can effect it. could any of those be the culprit?

If you're getting stuck on everything for 3 days straight, it's time to put yourself on liquids so everything in there can calm down!

I have fibro also (in fact, I tried to join your Fibro and Life group, but couldn't for some reason), and a few months ago I published an article in Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain LIFE magazine about the corelation between obesity and fibro. One doctor told me that weight loss can exacerbate fibro symptoms because of the inflammatory role of adipose (fat) tissue in the immune system. So it makes sense (to me anyway) that a flare up of fibro or another immune system disorder like lupus could cause inflammation in the digestive system.

      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.
