Controlled diet plan



Recommended Posts

When I first had the surgery I lost quite a bit of weight quickly and then it slowed way down for a few weeks then nothing. I just had my second fill on March 2nd and I lost only a couple of pounds and now I'm at a weight stand still once again. I'm only eating 1200 to 1500 calories.

Whenever I went on a 1500 calorie diet pre banding I always lost weight.

I really don't know whats up.

I was thinking of trying The Nutra System diet for a while.

I know the diet works because I went on it a few years before pre banding and lost 4o pounds but I didn't stay on it because I was hungry.

I get full easier with the band than I ever had before so I thought that maybe the Nutri System diet would be easier for me to stick to now.

Is there anyone with the band on a controlled diet plan? and is it working for you?

It's a great idea. I got out my Richard Simmons FoodMover and started clicking off my food. It kept me on track with getting everything in and avoiding the "too many carbs, not enough protien and veggies" habit I tend to get into. I slid the 1200 calorie card in the slot and had a few windows leftover at the end, 2-3 days in a row! So I thought, "hmmm, maybe I'll turn the card over and do the 1000 calorie Blast Off week" since it was so easy and I had windows still open. So I pulled out the card, and it was already on the Blast off week! My band makes it super easy to follow a plan, any plan! as long as I have one.

Okay, I have talked myself into getting out my FoodMover again...thanks for the kick in the butt! :hat:

      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.
