Not Complaining But...



Recommended Posts

Had a fill August 2. Just not very hungry at all. I'm finding I just can't get enough calories or Protein. I think I'm in green zone and losing...but I don't think I'm eating enough for a 179 pound gal. I got a little light headed. Even my Water consumption is going down. No desire for food. Restricted but not where I'm sliming or anything. So do I do extra high Protein drinks with what food I'm doing? Or any suggestions. Feelin a little tired. Can't complain but I know I need more.

Lucky you! I can't imagine never wanting to eat. I got no answer for you. Just a lot of envy.

Are you taking Vitamins and counting calories?

Well lucky but not!!!! it is too weird and I am taking my Vitamins but I've added liquid Iron again to get more in I think I went through this on third fill. Don't envy I'm a little scared. I did manage to get 1 oz of the loin in a very tender t-bone in and two bites of baked potato. About hour later I got four bites of ice cream and Kahlua cake. I have to stay up on Protein. It's also that I was such a quantity eater that I'm shocking myself. We will see what next week feels like.

Sliming-I didn't know the word til this site. Today I tried to eat a KFC chicken bite. By the second one, I felt this sharp pain in my sternum or in the area. Then I started burping kind of like wen you swallow alot of air. Then my eyes and nose started running. I knew I was stuck with a bite of chicken. It goes up or down. Went in bathroom stood over toilet sorry...and just stood there. Bent over and clear slimy spit just drooled out. Then I just spit up a little stuff not vomiting. So hard to explain but this is about it. Stopped and it did it again. I felt unstuck and I don't like this feeling. There are trigger foods for me that don't go down so well. No bread, some chicken, and certain meats and certain veggies. Sorry for TMI. But you need to know and again I was recently filled more and you just don't always know what will work and what wont.

Ha thank you for encouragement. My calories are sitting too low. I'm adding Iron liquid, and I am vowing to drink more Water. This dry Colorado and busy day makes me fogey to eat and drink. If this green zone could be a little more accommodating just a little it might be ok, but I am pleased to see some loss cause I was discouraged in my plateau I was going through...puttin on my big girl pants and taking the ride while it lasts. Thx

Just wondering, when did you get your band? How many fills have you had? and when did you get this feeling (of not being hungry)?

Got my band 12/21/11. First fill six weeks after I think to like 3cc I'll have to check I didn't paying attention it feels like forever. Then I had another 1/2cc every other month. My first real feeling of the band making me feel less hungry was at 3.5cc. But the 4cc was the real beginning of gradual weight loss. So I'm at 5.75 now. I was 267 size 24. I'm now 178 and some size 12's. I chose to make this weight loss slow, but it's going well with this most recent fill August 2.

      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.
