having trouble eating in the am



Recommended Posts

so lately i can really not eat much until like after 12 pm or 1. Breakfast is a no go at all

i think i may be a little too tight . Sometimes lately i have issues eating and then i just won't eat . I was having some PB issues there for a while

i would eat something little and yup back up it would come . I can not really eat salads anymore . My question is how do you know when your band has all the sudden gotten too tight. I do burp a lot . I guess i just need to eat slower and try to eat more frequent . i have problems with a lot of food that i am just afraid to eat in fear it will come back up . I am tiring to loose the last 20 lbs and my body will not budge . I need dome helpful meal and snack ideas as well

Thanks

My test to suspect being overly tight is this: food consistency is the test. Take Progresso Soup for example. If you can eat Progresso Soups like beef and barley, chicken noodle Soup, fajita chicken soup or most any of the Soups with small bits of meat and well cooked soft vegetables, you're not too tight. I still chew most all of these bits of meat, vegetables, rice and barley before swallowing. I also still eat very slow so that it usually takes me a good 15 minutes to eat a can of soup.

So, if you can eat soups(not the creamed soups) with meat, veggies, rice or barley, you may not be too tight. If these foods still cause stuck and PB episodes, you may need a small unfill. I had .25 CC taken out once and it made all the difference I needed.

I have not had a solid Breakfast in years....I have a high Protein smoothie, and it gurgles when going down...

Gets better as the day goes on.

I stalled for several months and went on the 5:2 intermittent fasting diet. But I changed it up to a 4:3 diet. I've lost 17 lbs in the last 3 months. Here's an overview if you're interested?

      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.
