What's A Girl To Do???



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!! It has been a while since I have been here, but it's good to be back. I have been banded for 2 years and 3 months. I originally lost 110 lbs. I became Pregnant in April of '06 and I have a beautiful 3 1/2 month old daughter. Well during my pregnancy, I had almost all of my fill removed(I WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!), and I gained 60 lbs during my pregnancy. I have lost 25 lbs, but I have been at a stand still for the last month. I don't know what to do. I lost my weight pretty quickly the first time around, but now I can't seem to get going. My band is filled pretty tight, but the weight just isn't coming off...I really need to get this weight off!! Does anyone have any experience with having a baby and not being able to lose the weight. Any input would be helpful. :)

Thanks.

No baby experience but tell us about your daily menu, exercise, etc. and maybe we can help.

I can't seem to get any Breakfast down at all. I usually just drink a little juice and take my Vitamins. I have Soup or a small salad for lunch, and dinner is usually chicken or fish with salad. I snack a little in between some days, but mostly nothing. I have been walking every other day for the last 2 months, and I started Taebo 2 weeks ago. I think I may not be eating enough.

      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.
