Is it just me or...?



Recommended Posts

I've had 2 fills my 3rd is this comming friday... I am quite sure I need another one im at 5 1/2 ccs in a 9 cc band and I am quite restricted... not so much with liquids but definitely with solids... but what ive noticed.. regardless of texture, consistancy or temperature... i do fine the odd day when i can eat a fair amount more than i can the majority of the time... is anyone else experiencing this? or is it just me?

Nope, it's not just you. Some people have increased restriction when they fly, some are increased in the AM, some are increased when it's their time of the month, etc. Our bodies are composed largely of Water so it's natural to feel "looser" on some days and tight on others. Just another quirk of the band.

ah that makes sense... i do notice that in the morning i cant eat much at all and by evening a very mini meal... but what had made me kinda wonder is that yesterday right from morning tilll evening i could eat almost twice what i normally can on most days

You are not unique in that sense. I just had my 3rd fill, and am feeling good restriction, but it varies.

For me, mine gets tighter when I am stressed out. I am also a bit tighter right after I get up in the morning. There are other times I am just tighter for whatever reason.

      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.
