Am I eating to much?



Recommended Posts

Hi there..well I think I have lost 30 so far...but I am eating to much so when I go in for my fill tomorrow Im not sure what them dang scales will say...Im worried...Is is normal to get to a point where you think you are eating to much and actually wonder if your stretching out your pouch or somethings wrong with your band?? Not that I really think I have either of those problems..Im not pigging like preband but i ate a small soft taco tonight...and i felt full so i didnt eat more..but then a couple of hrs later i had another one..but i dont think i should be able to eat a whole soft taco...or should I?? lets see what other examples...how about a half of a sandwich and some cottage cheese...is that normal to be able to eat that much before you get real good restiction?? I have 5cc in and i go in for another cc tomorrow...~Chantay

Chantay, you are definitely not at the right restriction level. If your hunger is coming back within an hour that is not enough. Keep going back for fills until you are full for a few hours at least. Also, keep in mind that solid Protein will keep you fullest the longest. It could be that the soft taco didn't have enough meat in it after all. 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.
