Eating Too Much?



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill about 2 weeks ago on thursday, he put 3 cc's of Fluid in my 11 cm band. I still feel like I'm able to eat waaaaaaaaaaay too much. Just now I had 2 steaks a, little brocoli and some shrimp. and those steaks weren't small either. they were long. medium sized steaks. Why is this? I've been trying to go walking, because the gym doesn't seem that appetizing for me? Can anyone tell me what to do to prevent from eating so much?

And just in case anyone is wondering this is what I had today

Breakfast:

1 bowl of shredded mini wheats w/ skim milk

Snack:

1/2 of Cinnamon Crunch Bagel from Panera bread w/ reduced fat hazelnut cream cheese

Lunch:

2 slices of beef brisket, and about 1 cup of fries a couple of cinnamon sliced apples

Dinner:

Steak (approx.6-7 oz.) about 10 shrimp a little cajun rice and broccoli

:help:

Don't worry! You're normal! You don't have restriction. Keep getting fills until you feel like you are comfortable with your level of restriction. Sometimes it takes up to 3 weeks for a fill to kick in. Believe me, you will know when you get restriction. If it were me, I would wait 3 weeks to a month between fills. Hang in there!!

Yeah, what Jessibear said....LOL

You are not doing bad but you might want to cut back on the carbs. That way your body will metabolize some of the food quicker and you can still lose weight. Are you drinking any Protein shakes or Protein Bars. They are great because it is a Meal Replacement at about 190 calories. You eat lighter you feel lighter.

As far as walking have you checked your local track to see if anyone else is strolling with a stroller...Also have you checked out your local TOPS Chapter.;)...I know they have some walkers in their group that would love to walk with you. It's good to see you back.:clap2: We are goint to have to scheduled a trip :car:to Anne Arundal Mall to walk with you.

      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.
