Any other September 2013 bandsters?



Recommended Posts

Just a thought. Try adding some Fiber. When I was pre-band that always worked for me to help curb hunger. I add a little now but not as much. That could be one thing helping me out now. There is no way I could eat a can of Soup. I had about 1/4 cup of pinto Beans last night and thought I was going to die. I had over done it and was not hungry again till this morning.

wow, see i knew i was able to eat too much! I'm eating slow and still able to eat more than I thought I would be able to. Not as much as I used to be able to but more than I expected...

I can eat about 1/2 cup of packed food. Less of solids though. I got about 1/4 cup chili down last night. Headed out with the hubby for a dinner date to a BBQ place. Planning on pulled chicken and green Beans.< /p>

if i measure out the progresso Soup it comes to 2 cups but that is the broth and all. I'm thinking maybe the broth is helping wash it down faster? Maybe I should try something more solid - I think I will try some tuna for lunch tomorrow and see how that goes...

Debbie I have had tuna the last 2 days for lunch and it has been very satisfying.

Good luck.

Hugh temptations at work for me today. Bagels brought in for lunch. Then pizza for lunch. Cake pops to top it off. It was a rough day. Tomorrow looks to be the same, with qdoba for lunch...

I am doing fine on the portion size, but the types of food I am allowed to eat is about to kill me. I am tired of all the foods I can have. I would like to have a little bread or crackers, but I have until next week before I can have those. Guess tonight I may have some mashed potatoes and gravy and some fruit.< /p>

I am getting pretty full on a cup as long as it has plenty of substance to it. Had spaghetti sauce with a little ground hamburger in it tonight. Very satisfying.

So far everything is working well - drinking and eating with no problems. I'm getting full on anywhere from 1/2- 1 cup food. Depends on day and time. I'm eating more than I was to begin with but considerably less than I was prior to band. All in all I guess it's good. Still working on the mental aspect of all this and forcing myself to make good choices!

I guess what I should have asked is how is eating and not drinking going? The whole not drinking while eating and waiting to drink is tough. Had some chili tonight and it was super spicy. Had to to just suck it up.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
