Just A Bad Day...



Recommended Posts

So today I can eat absolutely anything I want to, I even eat a tortilla which I can never do. This may sound crazy but I honestly think something may be wrong here, it just doesn't feel right??!!!

The band isn't supposed to stop you from eating anything. It's not supposed to keep you from eating certain foods nor is it supposed to physically stop you from eating more than a cup. So, don't base how well the band is or isn't working based on that. The band is supposed to help you to be satiated on less food for longer periods of time.

Over time with weight loss, the band gets looser, thus requiring additional fills. It's entirely possible you're noticing a difference in the band because of weight loss and your stomach shrinking.

Ask yourself: Are you satisfied on a cup or less of food for at least 4 hours? Satisfied meaning no longer physically hungry. (it has nothing to do with the inability to eat more, btw) If yes, then your band is right where it should be. If no, then you likely need another fill.

I have never been able to eat bread or tortillas, anything warmed up or left overs, forget about it, some other things as well, maybe you are one of the very lucky ones.

as missy said, the band wont stop you from eating anything (its up to us as to what to eat)

the band just makes eat less. so if you feel you didnt do good today, do better tomorrow.

i hope i am one of the lucky ones myself.

all the best msduran

Wake up and start new tomorrow, maybe it's time for a fill. Keep your eye on the prize just because u can eat it doesn't mean u should. Stop yourself and start over tomorrow! Good luck! :)

      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.
