Recommended Posts

Hi! I was banded in '09! Well Feb '10 I was in a car accident. So since then have been dealing with my injuries. I had my, hopefully, last surgery in Nov. when I had the accident I was down 80lbs, since then I have gained about 30 with all the stress involved. I just really need help and the motivation to get back on track. I really am so happy with my band just need the extra help to get back in my diet! Thanks to any and all that might be able to help!!

I gained 30lbs after my car accident too, but it was pre band and that was what started the process.

I'd look at it as, ok I survived and accident that could have taken my life, but I'm still here and it's time to make myself even healthier. Go back to your band way of eating, see your Dr for a fill if need be. You did this once, you can do it again.

Log what you're eating and stick to your plan.

You survived and car accident, you can do this too!

Glad you're back with us!

Get back on track drinking lots of Protein shakes. Bloat yourself with lots of Water and SF Jello. Drink lots of Broths. Push your brain like you had started all over again. Break the old habits with the ones that were allowing you to lose weight.

Best Wishes

      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.
