What Am I Really Doing To Myself



Recommended Posts

I was 6.5 and was having a hard time keeping anything down now. I got 1/2 cc taken out and I've had some things going on & I'm losing nothing but my mind. Eating everything so I'm going back in on the 11th to get a fill. I've come to far to go back now. I going to put the KIt Kats down!!!!!!!

I had a .25 unfill a couple months ago. For the first 2 weeks after I felt like I was eating too much and thought about going for a re-fill. However I think it was mental head hunger and soon I felt better. My tightness varies from week to week. It's so odd but I know related to stress and hormones.

Please keep in mind a fill won't stop you from eating- especially not slider foods like Kit Kats. The band's job isn't to physically stop you from eating anything, it's job is to control your hunger. If you're eating due to stress rather than hunger then it's unlikely that a fill help.

Have a look at this link, it may help: http://drsimpson.net/fills/Lap-band-made-simple/Lap-band-surgery-restriction-slips/Lap-band-surgery-restriction-slips.html

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.
