Third Fill....a bit disappointed



Recommended Posts

Ok, my fill went great with no unexpected issues. However, I gained .4 pounds!! Totally not happy with that but my doctor says it is to be expected and she is pleased with my continued loss of inches. I must increase my motivation to get to the gym and partner my workouts with the work of the lapband for some true success.. I refuse to go backward any longer..

I really need some food types also because mostly I'm mot hungry for anything so a can of Soup is my usual, just too high in sodium. Time to search out some tips, I'm opinion to all input..

Soups are considered a slider food and won't give you the satiety that solid food and Protein gives. If Soup works for you to lose weight you might continue till it doesn't, but it's the antithesis of the type of food that makes the band do it's magic.

Hi, how about making a stew? It would be more filling than a can of Soup, you could control the sodium, and it would be more healthier.

I'm pretty much the same way....because of the band I am seldom hungry whether I eat or not......and most days cannot decide on what to eat...soup is always a good fallback for me...especially lunch...even though it's a slider, that has nothing to do with my hunger...I just don't feel the need to eat....24-7

scales go up and down all day long..

heck you can pee or poop that out...and could be salt/water retention so drink alot....if you are losing inches you are losing weight....and that is what it is all about...you are doing great....focus on the big picture, not just what the scale showed one time...

      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.
