For The First Time Ever Since Surgery 17 Mos Ago I Felt Restriction



Recommended Posts

This morning I ate Cereal, then for lunch I was out and about and grabbed a small chili from Wendy's and brought it home and sitting there at the table I was half way thru it and thought to myself, hm, I'm full and getting ready to hiccup which is my soft stop and I did hiccup and I stopped eating and put it away for later. For the first time in 17 mos post op I felt restriction, this was less than a cup of food, really felt like the band was working. Also yesterday it happened, thought I was getting stuck but I was full before I could finish my lunch, just couldn't finish it. Weight loss has been at a stand still for 3 months, maybe this is a start to a new beginning for me, the green zone.

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I doubt I eat very much but plan on enjoying myself, a bite here and a bite there. I'm just thankful I'm healthier and alive this year. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Congrats Donna! And happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

And good choice on the Wendy's chili for an "on the go" option! :)

Hey Donna I am like you and won't be eating much. I probably won't even sit down for a meal. Just snack here and there during the day. Have a great day!! :)

      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.
