After the first month



Recommended Posts

Has anyone eaten a cheeseburger or something like that after the first month of having the band?

And i was wondering during the mushies stage can i eat scrambled eggs?

Has anyone had problemas eating rice?

I'm okay with rice but it took awhile, I can eat just about anything in small amounts but I choose healthy foods......not cheeseburgers....that would totally defeat the purpose of the band, why would you want to eat stuff like that and sabotage your weight loss?

Experiment and you will find out what you can tolerate, but make it healthy choices.

Cheeseburgers...not a good idea. You know why!! :eek:

My doctor was OK with scrambled eggs during mushies. However, I've known a few people to have trouble with them. I can eat Egg Beaters just fine, but did PB on regular real eggs, which were scrambled.

Rice is just fine with me too. Personally, rice has been fine but I only eat whole grain brown rice because white rice is almost as bad as the cheeseburger!!

You'll learn how to experiment with foods. You'll just need to take it slow but you're right to want to explore. You should eat a variety of foods and the only way you'll know if they cause YOU trouble is by testing it out.

One idea, if your looking for mushies ideas...I loved eating fat-free refried Beans during this stage. For some reason they were just very satisfying to me and really filled me up. I still enjoy them sometimes!

Hope this helps! Good luck!

      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.
