November Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

Thats what I am so happy about, I haven't been real hungry, If I do get hungry I have a boiled egg or a serving of applesauce. Still even though I am eating like this I have only lost 15 pounds in 3 weeks- It's kind of frustrating cause I have been so good, I thought I would have better results. I need to get more active!

Do you remember the week before the surgery how horrible it was for the first 4 days or so? Then it got easier? Well I am taking that concept and eating as small a meals as I can, knowing that as soon as I eat more than I should or eat something that I shouldn't ( like fudge, my mom just made some) That will just kick the door wide open again, and let my hunger loose!!

I don't know it works for me!

I don't know if you have read anything I have written...but my energy level has been really really down. I haven't been eating healthy and/or taking my Vitamins. I started to be good and got some B-12 dots (pills) that desolve on and work faster. I have felt better. I really think my Iron was down too. I have even had thoughts that I am bleeding inside. NO I'm not crazy...just trying to figure it out.

Why aren't you taking your Vitamins? ??

Forgot...Lazy...etc.

I feel like sometimes the reason I am fat is because I am trying to hurt myself. I've got to get motivated again.

I have been worried about my band for the last couple of days. I am worried it slipped.

Why are you worried and why do you think it slipped?

I quit my diet cokes when I got banded and have not regretted it...but I never found out why coke is band for you when you're banded. Why is that?

I was told that the carbonation expands the pouch. Beer or any other carbonation would have the same affect.

I don't anymore. I talked to the doctor's office and they said if it slipped I wouldn't even be able to hold down Water. The reason I thought that was because I had a coughing fit, low blood sugar/trying to eat...all at the same time I was throwing up and coughing. The next day I had a numbing/painful feeling. It is gone now. They told me that anytime you feel like something is wrong or you threw up a lot...GO BACK TO liquids for the next day. It worked!

I'm pretty sure I am fine!

Welcome! We're a bit slow on posting right now due to the holidays but I think you will benefit greatly by joining. It has helped me. It is interesting to see how everyone is different and how actually everyones doctor and doctors plan is so different.

      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.
