Success Diet for Bandsters!!



Recommended Posts

If you try it, let us know how it works!! I definately think it is hard to gain weight with the band & if this diet gets the weight off - then maybe we got it home free. I can hardly eat any meat without PBing. I'd like to know just exatly what you DO eat on this diet.

Anyone out there actually tried this? Share your food list! :confused:

i am on day 2 of the low-carb plan. i'm not doing the appetite suppressants but from my experience doing the low-carb thing in the past, the lack of sugar keeps me from being very hungry.

yesterday, breakfast:

- coffee with half and half and 1 equal

- a boiled egg

lunch:

- 3oz pork chop

dinner:

- 1/3 head lettuce w/ bacon bits, chives and bleu cheese

i'm not doing the totally radical stance of NO veggies, but i think i'm going to try to stick to lettuces b/c they're mostly Water. i'll keep you guys updated.

I went to Dr. Fox's seminar once back before banding was done in the states. (seminar for bypass). He does like "his" girls skinny.

One of the things that his office would make you sign is an agreement that once you made goal that you would go to an image consultant to help you pick out a new look for yourself -- hairstyle, makeup, wardrobe, etc. I actually think that's a great idea and I will probably do it, even though I didn't get my surgery through his office. [eta: I don't know if he still does this]

<< snipped; I probably shouldn't state my opinion of Dr. Fox here >>

Niche - how's the low carb diet going? I saw that you ate pork chop. Are you able to get that down okay? I'm very curious to see if this really is sucessful.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
